It‘s gtill not too late. It also might be a good idea to carry your gripe to this department, just in case they let the same mental giant loose )n this job again. _ If these automobiles had been parked in an area marked by "snow removal" signs there m'xim have been some excuse for this childishness. As it was, practicâ€" ally all the drivers had to go and borrow shovels to dig themselves out of the mess that some smart alec they were helping to feed, had got them in. _ _ 80 One of the most stupid stunts ever pulled by any public works department was that in Kitchener when they first started to clear away some of the snow. 0 A few of the bright eyed boys in this works :!):Yaflment decidâ€" ed that"‘ thez would show owners of cars parked on King St. what the score was, and proceeded to Eile snow up both in front and ehind all the cars they came Kitchener owns far more snow removal eqmgment than Waterâ€" loo has ever had. They must be saving it for posterity, the way the snow accumulates on their streets. J.H.S. The Kitchener engineer and Works Department could well take a leaf from the book of the Waterioo engineer; they might learn how to keep their streets free of snow. One prominent Kitchener man claims that the Kitchener engiâ€" neer‘s attitude is that, God made the snow and if we wait, God will take it away. The only lh'mf he can‘t understand is the big bill for snow removal equipment if all the work is being left in anticipation of a miracle. On Sunday, while Kitchener was still wallowing around in the heavy snow, Waterloo‘s main roads were as bare as they are in summer, and the driving was just as good and just as safe, with posâ€" sibly the exception that it was a little wet. This particular condition was not too severe in Waterloo. Forâ€" tunately for drivers in this city, we are blessed with an engineer who knows what the score is when it comes to get rid of snow off the roads. garage man wished his clients wom not wait until the last moâ€" ment before getting ready for the cold weather. The cold weather which accomâ€" m the snow, did more than up radiators, it also made oing on the roads tough for any :md' of a vehicle which did not have one of the old type of horses in front of it.
