Did anybody see any g crews of the street depart ment out Tuesday clearing the crossings, the sidewalks or the streets f We didnt, and we havent found anybody else who did. Did anybody find the street department crewa out Wednesday morning, following the heavy snow of Tuesday night, making any effective effort to clear the choked condition of the gutters and re- lieve the flooded condition of streets caused thereby. We arent informed that they did. We do know, however, that there was continuous complaint from people because of the wholly unnecessary condition of the streets. The west side of State street, in the business' section, was a running river Wednesday morning that men, women and girls, going to 'work, and children on their way to Bchool, had .to wade through. The entire business district network of streets was chocked with wow, th gutters filled with ice and snow and the sewer drains clogged. Some of the busiest crossings were impassable to pedestrians except to those willing to wade. Our memory runs to a time when the streets and crossings downtown were kept free and open during the heaviest storms, and paths were plowed along the sidewalks of the residence district before the populace awoke, but these conditions are mere memories now.

It doesnt tally very well with a public statement just made by the prohibition enforcement supervisor of Utah who declares that the state of Utah is in the grip of a gigantic ring of liquor manufacturers and distributers which has converted virtually every soft drink parlor in the state into a saloon in disguise, put liquor on sale in hotels, and other places and, according to the administrator, is paying termed the civic efforts of a women's club which baa representative groups in town of every state and in Hlany foreign countries.
