Yn., started first as a mixture of sleet and rain but soon turned to snow, and the flakes swirled down so fast that street department crews were unable to keep pace.

 Street department blows were kept busy last night, and sanding crews also had to go into action as steady streams of traffic wore down the snow to 8 hard, glazed surface that gave little traction for wheels. Street department employees have had scarcely any rest since Saturday morning, but extra men have been hired.
 Traffic tie-ups were frequent again this morning. especially during the rush hour from 7:30 to 8:30 as the dangerous going made 1t imperative to proceed with great caution.

the manufacture of tools and
gauges for defense work, Sattler
said

placed defense orders with the Sa'
