COOLER WEATHER SAYS FORECAST
City Crews Remove Snow From Business Districts;
 Few Accidents Reported

Light, swirling fiurries of snow descended from a leaden sky in the late hours of the morning today, but unlike the heavy snowfall of Sun day, melted as the flakes alighted on pavements.
 City streets, cleared for the most part by the work of street depart ment employees manning IS blow trucks and IS hired dump trucks, bore evidence of the four-inch snow fall of the weekend. Small banks of snow lined gutters and curbings where they had been swept aside by the blows.
 The weatherman, however, pre- dicted an end for the precipitation tonight, with clearing and consid- erably cooler weather, in the offing. The mercury. maintaining a con- sistency remarkable for these climes was at 32 degrees at noon today, varying only by one degree from the mark recorded at midnight.
 Principally affected by the ac- CuIlluldIlOIl Ol SHOW over lIle Week- end were motorists ard transporta- tion services. Considerable conges- tion and delay was reported by bus services, owing to the fact that perIpns in the habit of using their cara to travel to work, decided against the procedure today. Main traffic arteries. however, were well cleared and ,sanded, permitting un- impeded vehicular movement.
 Casualties were many yesterday but few of a serious nature. Mrs. Chestra Dombrowski, 37, of l09 Eas- ton avenue, suffered fractured leg in fall on North Main street on her way to church. Her condition was said to be good" at Water bury hospital.
 Peter DeLucia, A, of 67 Branch street, sustained bruised left shoulder when struck by car said to have been operated by Joseph Laliberte, 33, of 169 Cushman street. while crossing the highway at a point near 166 Grove street. Many automobile accidents, all minor. oc- cured, but no arrests were made.
