All of the 100000 snow-re.
moval cannot be viewed as
"extra"a expense, Kordella said,
since a portion of it can be
charged to salaries and other ex-
penditures arising from normal
road repair and maintenance.
"Our men would be working
eight hours a day whether it
showed or not" he said, and
their pay during the regular
work week would be considered
a routine expenditure.
Overtime Expensive
However, the normal cost
has been skyrocketed by the
numerous overtime. hours
spent by public works employees
frequently called to work
throughout the night in the
wake of storms that arrived
with almost monotonous regu-
larity for four weeks.
OF the total public works
budget for the full IL months
of the year, Kordella said, about
100000 is allocated to normal
road maintenance and repair.
The funds expended since the
seasons first snow in middle
cember represent more than
one-third of the full years total,
without taking into account the
expected heavy cost of repair
ing roads hit by storm damage.
Other Costs Soar
Nor does the governmental
cost reflect the numerous other
to which taxpayers
have been subjected in the form
of abnormally high heating
bills, auto repairs and other
extra" expenditures associated
with unusually cold weather.
The Washington Gas Light
