Early start boosts city snow removal efforts
Commissioner Woodbury of the Street Cleaning Department praises starting snow removal on Monday before the storm ends. Trains from New York Central Railroad moved eight flat cars carrying about thirty tons each, clearing streets around St. John's Park. Snow melting machines on Cooper Union’s Fight List side processed seventy-five cubic yards hourly, with a dozen trucks delivering snow to the machines. By last night Cortlandt Street and Fulton Street were cleared, Broadway largely finished to Forty-second Street, and main thoroughfares accelerated while Harlem work lagged behind to prioritize central districts.
