Patrolman Leo McGeehan said the drivers were; Gabriel Rusa-sky, 328 West Twentieth street, in a Ford sedan owned by John Rusasky, same address; Mary Cassic, 437 East Cranberry avc nue, in a Pontiac sedan; and James Bragalone, 187 South Man hattan court, in a Chevrolet sedan owned by Catherine Bragalone, same address.

Stanley Specht City Street Foreman John Columbus today assailed criticism by motorists who complain that plowing and cindering is 'inadequate." Columbus, pointing out that Ms crews have approximately 117 miles of street to keep open, said complaints usually come from mo torists whose vehicles have smooth tires and no chains. Rarely, he added, does a person who drives carefully and lias sui ficient tread on his tires, encounter difficulty on Hazlcton streets. "Hazleton ranks as one of the best towns in the state, as far as snow removal and cindering is concerned," he said.

He charged that several large towns within a 100-mile radius of here do not use cinders, but merely plow the streets and notify motorists to use chains." A Hazleton motorist whose car has smooth tires, said Columbus, "naturally will have trouhle getting up a snow-covered hill." Columbus said the thing that aggravates him "is when they blame the cinder crews instead of their own tires." The city street foreman asserted that while some cities use no cinders Hazleton uses an average of 150 to 200 tons per day In around-the-clock efforts to keep roads safe for traffic. Some municipalities wait until a snowstorm is over before send Inc out plow, cinder and salt crews, Columbus said. "We don't do that here. As soon as snow begins to accumulate and threaten traffic safety, our crews are dispatched. And they remain on the job through the right, being replaced in the morning by fresh crews.

"Naturally, we can't have every one of the approximately 117 miles of streets plowed and cindered at once. All we ask is some consideration from the public. We are trying to do our jobs to the best of our abilities." He explained that salt is applied to plowed araeas when the temperature is above 20 degrees. In colder weather, cinders are used since salt becomes ineffective When thawed areas re-freeze. Columbus said local crews swung into action at 11 o'clock last night, continued through the night and re still busy today.

Full crews, augmented by 10 extra laborers, completed plowing and salting of mam thorouhfares before noon and concentrated this afternoon on courts and Columbus said eight trucks, three talt trucks, plus a loader and grader are being utilized to keep roadways passable for traffic.
