COUNCIL RESTS ON COLLECTION [Continued from First Page.] contract said the residents of the city expect collections and that while the price seemed exorbitant it seemed to be the only recourse. He told the other commissioners there were loads and loads of ashes not collected now with the result that a new contractor would have little profit during the first year because of the general cleanup. Monthly Clean-up Commissioner Gross replied to Commissioner Hassler by saying that Council could not award a contract when the money to pay for colle<_ - tion work ws not in sight. Mayor ! Keister suggested postponing further! consideration of the bids, and it was; then decided to take such action anctj return the certified check to Stees, Simonetti and Company. Another suggestion which has i been made would provide tor monthly clean-ups. J3y this plan in stead of awarding a contract for' ash collections the city would each ! month employ a force of men and j make a general clean-up of all ac-j cumulated waste. Some officials be-; lleve this- would not be a violation | of the law as it could be termed a i s-.nitary measure. The water department situation caused much discussion alsa to-day when Commissioner Hassler pre sented, a letter from Mr. Ledoux in which the latter stated he under stood he had been engag?d to make recommendations to meet the jjres-1 ■ent emergency, suggest improve- i ments at the pumping station; pre-j pare a schedule of rates and elso, outline qualifications and suggest probable salary of a competent en gineering expert as an assistant to Commissioner Hassler. Definite Valuation The city official explained the, need of a definite estimate of val- j uation, depreciation and expendi- j tures in order to decide on equitable rates, and declared the need of expert such as Mr. Ledoux would be nimost indispen.sible in arriving at these figures. He also -aid the need of a qualified assistant is evident and would be a valuable help. Commissioners Gross and Hurt nctt both agreed that it was nec essary to make allowances for de preciation and repairs which would be needed in deciding on water rates. It was finally agreed to em ploy Mr. Ledoux to prepare a schedu.e and to decide later whether he will be engaged to maLe a gen eral survey of the department. Other action by Council included ordering payment of bill of <241!.19 *"ibni*tted by Tribus and Massa: S4 5 dues to Third Class City League; ap proval of bond of Hagy Brothers, gdrbasre collection contractors; re ceiving annual report of City 3'in gmeer M.

Commissioner Lynch introduced an ordinance requiring the owners of real estate in fche city to register the tii!es of property and author izing the city engineer to make the necessary books and plans showing every lot in the city, providing a space for the name of the owner and for subsequent title chinges. the oidirance requires ow.i3r3 within thirty days aft*r the final passage to present conveyance of title for registration, provides nd crossings.

TRAFFIC AGAIN i RESUMED AFTER UNUSUAL STORM Trains Delayed Many Hours; Snow-Buried Tracks Are Being Cleared By Associated Press Philadelphia, Jan. 29. Although traffic conditions on the railroads were much improved to-day drifts ' and packed snow in many parts of the state were responsible for de lays of from S to 14 hours in the arrivals of through trains from the West. After the tracks had been i cleared of the results of yesterday's \ storm it was found necessary to abandon all attempts to run passen ger trains on schedule time. Attempts were made to resume ! freight service after more than n.OOO then had worked to clear tracks and I switches but proved difficult, accord ! ing to railroad officials, to free cars | from the snowdrifts up state. Condi tions were ameliorated at many j poirrts by a moderation in the tem perature during the night. Electric car traffic throughout the state is still badly crippled and work ers in the munition districts are ex periencing much difficulty in reach ing their places of employment.

Monongahela Rises; Floods Are Expected in Vicinity of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, Jan. 29. Reports leached the Weather Bureau here to-day that the Monongahela river was rising rapidly from Fairmont, W. \ a., north, and the heavy ice was moving out. It was expected the ice would reach the pools in the neighborhood of Pittsburgh to-night >"nd every possible precaution against damage to river craft was being taken. The ice in some places ir fully two feet thick and averages about eighteen inches. While there was possiblity of con siderable damage, the news was heard with interest in Pittsburgh, since the Monongahela has been closed by the severe weather for more than a month and large quantities of coal, badly needed by the mills in this district, have been tied up. It was estimated here to day that fully 100,000 men will be able to resume their customary em ployment as soon as the river is open. Chalmers Passes Cold Weather Test One of the most severe tests that an automobile can be put to has just been administered to a stock Chal mers, and it passed through the or deal with flying colors. The ma chine was left standing in front of the Grand Central Palace, where the Eighteenth Annual Automobile Show was being held, for fifteen hours, during which time the aver age temperature was twenty-five de grees above zero. W. H.

Hagerling, Hudson distributor. V "The very curtailment of railroad facilities will make the need for motor cars * all the greater. Now that there have been official assur ances that there itf> a sufficiency of gasoline there is no hesitancy in the market on that score. The problem, more severe than it has ever been felt, will be in obtaining cars to de liver. The sales will not be among the dealers' worries this year. "Thousands of freight cars are bottled up or otherwise held in freight, yards waiting to be unloaded. But where to unload them Is the problem. Heavy snows have delay ed the operation of the railroads. "Most of the heavy shipments are made from the West to the Eastern seaboard. The cars which go east ladened with foodstuffs and muni tions are loaded with merchandise from the eastern factories and sent west—when the goods are going to the point where the freight car is needed to carry another important shipment back to ocean shipping ports. "Such Important essentials as sugar have been kept back from delivery to eastern points. Great sections of the country has for weeks been threatened by a coal shortage that has resulted in shutting down factories, the dimming of electric signs and in much suffering In many places. In Detroit it has not been an uncommon sight to see coal treas ured in bushel bags being transport ed to homes in limousines. "The freight situation has grown so acute that now even express cars are not obtainable for automobile shipments. The express companies are permitted to furnish their cars only for less than carload sizes. "It is easy to see then just what a demand there will be for cars. Early buyers will be the wise ones."
