AND WORK RESUMED i Bright Sun and Rising Tem peratures Do Much 1 To Make Easier Task of Clear ing Away the Snow. A bright sun and rising tempera tures greeted Concordians this morn ing following the heaviest snow in a quarter of a century ca Tuesday as , ternoou and night and eduesday | morning. The task of digging out of the fifteen inches of snow was made the easier 1 today by the warm sun’s rays and fipc ! progress was bding made with the ; work of clearing the street and side walks. City officials announced this morn ! iug that traffic found every street par ; tially opened before sundown yentor day and they hoped to out wider today the paths that were made yesterday ! so motorists and pedestrians could travel. Work was resumed in the city j schools this morning on regular sched ule and business was approaching nor malcy after being somewhat retarded | yesterday when shoppers were prac | tica.ly snowbound for the greater part of the day. * * CnbarruH Superior Court resumed regular work this morning. No ses | sion of the court was held yesterday due to the all-day absence of two jurors from No. 7 township. These men, it was learned this morning, rode mule-back to a railroad station | and reached Concord by train last night. Judge MTehnel Seheuek and mera j bers of the bar remained in ibe court room for several hours yesterday morn ing but when the jurors bad not reached the court house following the regular noon recess, another recess | for the day was ordered. The jurors reported that it was impossible for . them to reach Concord yesterday. The snow was melting rapidly to day under a bright sun. Rising teui ! peratures predicted yesterday became u reality this morning and as the snow : me'.ted it wan more easily handled. In the downtown district water was used to clear sections of Union street yesterday afternoon. At the name time trucks and mule teams were hauling off the snow and before night fall a portion of the street was prac tically clear of all snow. One skylight in the Cannon build-- ing is reported to have beeu slightly damaged when snow slid on it from another part of the building. The roofs of various business houses were i cleared of snow during the day* thus < relieving the buildings of the weight of the snow and also removing danger | from water that might seep into the i buildings when the snow started mclt ! ing. Bath* out oh sidewalks and streets jin all sections of the city made it | possible for school children to reach | their schools without great inconveui ! cnee this rnomiug. Work in the high j school was carried ou yesterday but IHe the primary and grammar schools 1 the pupils who reported for the day , i were excused at 10:30. No serious property of personal j damage has resulted from the snow, jso far fls can be learned. A number <of autos were s ightly damaged in j minor accidents but drivers in every j instance escaped injury. Automobile traffic was about 50 per (cent. normal during today. Few cans were on the streets yesterday morning but by mid-afternoon the number had increased to about 30 per cent, of normal. More motorists were out tins morning and afternoon, bringiug traf fic to about 50 per cent, of normalcy. Sledding parties were few last night. Many attempted to find a suitable place for sled riding but such places were not to be found. The snow par tially froze during the night bnt there was not enough crust to hold up the ! sleds and they mired through to the ground. £ Busses of the Southern Coa(*h Com ! pany are maintaining their schedules 1 today and trains of the Southern ; Kailway arc running nearer on sched ule than they did yesterday. 1 COURT HALTED FOR DAY FOR BIGGEST SNOW IN 2S YEARS | Regular Work Was Resumed This Morning Wken Trial of Suits Against Letters Was Resumed Here. There was po session of Cabarrus . Superior Court yesterday, three jurors j residing in -the county finding it im | possible to get here for jtessioiis of j the court. When court convened yesterday i morning only six jurors were present, •fudge Michael Sehenek, presiding, and . j members of the bar, remained at the court house some time in the hope that the other jurors could bfeak ' through the suoWbound roads. Later in the day three of the six did show up but the other three were absent during the entire day and ns a result the trial of the suits against I Lewis and A. F. Lefler could not bo 1 resumed. All of the jurors were on hand this morning, however, aud the trial was resumed with the .prospect that it would not get to the jury until lute this afternoon and possibly not be fore tomorrow morning. The Loflers are being sued by four Kannapolis pertsous as a result’of an auto accident on the Mt. Pleasant road in August, 1923. Evidence?

C. llenfield, superintendent of the street force#., wore in charge of »: the crews winch begun early yester day morning to get all streets par- j tially opened and before nightfall j they had seen their plans carried out i to such an extent that they could re- i port every street in the city opened to traffic.- *‘We used all city equipment, every ■ matt employed by the city and scores i ofc* others who wanted to work,” Cap- j , tain Smith stated. “We hired every I t aud team that we could get, ’ made'drags for sidewalks and streets' and kept the street sera pets busy' throughout the day.*’ •Ju rim downtown district part of | the snow was washed away when by-; drants were turned on during the af ternoon. On other streets the snow! was hauled off in trucks and wagons.; This process was continued this morn-j ink with the result that most of the ’streets in the bu#tiness section were I freori of the bulk of the snow that i made traffic almost impossible over i them yesterday morning. Iu the residential sections mul|cj dags were used to cut a path through ! the snow. This, path was not wide I in Home instances, but it \va#i suffi-1 cieutly wide for i>edestrinn.s.

So far as is known now no serious property damage resulted in Concord from the heavy snows of the week. In several cities iu the state build ings were damaged when roofs gave way under i the weight of the snow, but so far as could be learned tbn» morning no local buildings suffered damage from this cau/»e. .Skylights on several buildings had I to be cleaned rapidly during yesterday i afternoon. It was reported, when faey 1 gave signs of weakening under the 1 load of suow, but none of these ac | tunlly fell and none was badly dam aged. In the business district a number of roofs were cleared of the snow for fear the melting flakes would flood gutters and waterpipers, sending water into store buildings. The snow has but begun to melt, however, and | no water damage has been suffered j anywhere, bo far as is known now. j About the only property damage re sulting from the snows was caused by automobile accidents, none of which were serious so far as police officers have been able to learn. There were a number of minor ac* cideuts, however, in wfiieh autos were slightly damaged by sliding into other cars or curbings or treefc. Accidents were few, police said, when the num ber of ears used during yesterday is taken into consideration. Telephone and telegraph communi cation here was not affected "by the storm and trains on the Southern op erated ns usual, although some of them were several hours late. There was Uo damage of any extent to rail prop erty in the city, it was said this morning.
