TOTAL EXPENDITURES prior to the Snow Storm
of April 15 -16, or to April 153 161 392&072"
The last Snow Storm which started late in P.M. of
April 15th.3 and developed into a blizzard, such as we did not
have thruout the entire winter season of this year, has forced
our Department to use every available manpower and equipment to
plow and remove snow and to do extensive cindering in order to
protect the lives 'of our citizens. It is difficult to estimate
at this time, the exact cost of performing all of the necessary
work, but it is safe to say that the expenditures will be quite
higi.
In the past, sufficient funds were also provided a-1.
this time of the year for stockpiling sand and salt that will be
needed during the late months of this year.
In view of these gacts, the Department should be given
an additional emergency appropriation in an amount not to exceed
200,000.000 As mentioned previously, in a letter of March 7,
1961, in 1953 with less amount of Snowfall than this year, the
total emergency appropriation amounted to $ 820,000.00, while

this year, the Department is asking for only $ 575, 000.00.
On the basis of increased costs of 50% from 1953,
the expenditures for that year would have been $ 1, 230, 000.00,
or over twice the amount requested for this year.
