FOUR FOOT SNOW DRIFTS The blizzard brought down plenty of snow. It drifted to depths of 4 1-4 feet in some points in the Fifth Ward and in the Diamond. However, the people who like to work out averages, figure the average snowfall, on a supposedly level surface, with no drifting, was about 14 inches. The snow shoveling brigade was on the job soon after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and if the city had gotten crossings open, people could have gone out last night without much trouble. The crossings were piled high with snow and few went out except those who had 1 engagements to keep or were called out on business.

NO ACTION ON SNOW PLOUGH The plan by which John 'A. Leffler was to use his snow plough and ten-ton tractor to clear the streets of snow was all right on paper, but it did not work today, due to Commissioner John Kemp being sick in bed and City Engineer Jere Rough not ordering any use of the equipment because he had no instruction to do so. The plough was tried out during the storm yesterday and pushed the snow aside on Broad street for a width of 28 feet. There was some complaint on the part of business, men that it banked snow against the curbs that their trucks could not get near the sidewalks. However, the understanding was that once the snow was moved off the center of the street, the city would remove the banks.
There was nothing done in this direction today and criticism was heard on all sides. Council is to act on the formal contract when it meets Tuesday and it is hoped that there will be a better co-ordination when the next storm arrives. This is the first winter that Hazleton has had plans laid out for fighting the snow evil and the plan should be given a fair trial. Hazleton's Broads street property owners are responaible for 44 feet or 44 per cent. of the snow that is shoveled into the street.
The trolley company is responsible for 14 feet or 14 per cent. of the snow on the highway. The trolley company has agreed to pay its pro rata share of cleaning off the street and also to furnish cars and men to get rid of the banks once they are shoved to the curbs. CITY HAS FORCE OF BO MEN REMOVING SNOW A force of sixty snow shovelers divided into sections was put to work today by Jere Rough, the city engineer, cleaning the various street crossings of the accumulation of snow that fell yesterday. The majority of the men were assigned to Broad street and the rest of them were working on the north side of the city between Broad street and Diamond Addition.
Other men will likely be taken on Monday when a general cleanup of the crossings will be made. WEDDINGS Hoebener-DeHart.

HAZLETON DIGS ITSELF OUT Hazleton's first blizzard of 1925, starting on the night of New Year's and raging until 4 yesterday afternoon when the snow fall stopped, to be succeded by a drizzle of short curation, was one that eventually tied up things in the region quite badly. Many mines were forced to suspend for the day after working for a time but conditions are getting back to normal today. The -Barre Hazleton Railway operated but its cars hit drifts, especially near Drums, that tied up cars occasionally and delayed traffic for a time. The 3:80 car from Wilkes-Barre got in at 12:45 this morning and passengers waded through snow at Drums to get milk for babies on the car.
The Lehigh Traction Co. put up a hard fight and managed to keep going somehow but there were gaps when no service could be operated, for in places the tracks drifted 3 and 4 feet high. The sweepers and ploughs were operated continuously but occasionally met conditions that only the shovel could overcome. The Lehigh Valley Railroad reported all trains on time today. Some runs were an hour late last night but the Valley did not suffer as much as the Pennsy, whose trains were held up for hours.
The Valley express through Mauch Chunk from Buffalo, leaving there at 11 last night, went through the Carbon county seat on time this morning. Taxis were put out of business by the storm last night. Cars were stalled in drifts and many calls for service could not be handled. Trucks were unable to make time and some firms of town shipped by express to nearby communities so that demands for food stuffs could be promptly met. WILL FINISH THIRTY HOUSES Delmar E.
