SNOW REMOVAL.
During the past winter frequent severe snowstorms
visited the Metropolis, and the resources of this Vestry
and the Parish generally were largely taxed to rid the
Parish of the very heavy accumulations of snow, which, for
a time, impeded locomotion. Extra men were taken on from
the ranks of the unemployed to combat this visitation.
