EVIDENT
 THANKS TO SUN
Further Clearance of Gut- ters Necessary By Street
 Department

Waterbury streets were spotted with muddy pools and sltlsh today as the temperature rose above freezing and the sun melted remaining snow, caked along gutters and where the automobiles had packed it down in the roadways.
 Street department crews, busy with clearing drifts lined along roadways, had cleaned out catch basins at the start of the storm Sat- urday night. But the melting snow and slush called for further clear ance of the gutters today.
 Signs placed last night warned motorists against parking on East Main street and other main thor oughfares today anent the use of the snow loader. The snow loader was busy along the business streets at the center today and, with re- moval of the caked drifts along side- walks the gutters began to take the melted load, resembling brooks in some sections of the city and pre- senting hazard to pedestrians on their nono-hour tours for luncheon.
 Word that another storm was due caused concern here today. Prospect of the forecasters is for fair and colder tonight, cloudy tomorrow with either rain or snow tomorrow night late.
 The minimum temperature last night was 30 degrees, however, and the high registered at noon today, 36 degrees.
 Unless there is another storm tomorrow night the street depart ment expects to have al thorough fares in tip-top shape by Thursday.
