including men from the highway,
street cleaning, water and gar
bage and ash collection services,
were put to work as early as possible
yesterday on snow removal and
worked through the night last night.
With 40 plows and Is plow-
equipped tractors, the Refuse De-
partment reports main thorough
fares in the District were cleared
early yesterday morning and the
men remained ut work on them In
an attempt to remove the snow as
1t fell.
The regular workers available were
augmented by only 120 to $50 extra
workers, the small number available
now during the war being . consid-
cradle contrast to the large number
who have applied for snow-removal
jobs in other years.
Snow plowed OF Of thoroughfares
and downtown streets has been left
at curbs to eliminate the expense Of
hauling 1t, which is not felt necessary
at this time of year. Refuse De-
partment officials feel the sun
will be their greatest aid In removing
the record snowfall and expect that
their greatest problem at the mo-
ment will be one Of drainage.
Today snow removal work Is being
confined largely to clearing cross
walks and to answering requests for
clearing streets and areas it was not
possible to get at yesterday.
There will be no garbage, ash or
trash collection today, it was an
nounced at the Refuse Department,
since all the men employed in this
service worked all day yesterday and
through last night clearing away
snow.
Snow plows had been scheduled
to be stored away today, officials
believing the winter season over.
Some of the equipment was pur-
chased last fall, including a Snow
go" which was used for the NTH
time this week end. The mow-go
picks up the snow and dumps it
out. 1t was used on Sousa Bridge
to dump drifts into the river, and
along Pennsylvania avenue to I'LL
trucks.
Heavy Sale Of Passes.
The Capital Transit Co. was busy
with IS scrapers and IS sweepers at
work, together with about 500 men,
The company asserted that any
delay In schedules noted today was
partly due to heavy sales of passes,
ordinarily purchased on Sundays.
Stalled motorists had difficulty
summoning wrecking cars, because
many garages were closed to comply
with gasoline sale restrictions.
The American Automobile Asso-
citation and the Keystone Automo-
bile Club said calls for aid slackened
today. The former reported about
$500 calls for aid or information
during the worst of the storm.
