NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—<*•>—A rag ing blizzard covered the middle At lantic coast today with six inches or more of snow and swept on into New England, leaving in its wake at least 16 deaths and a million dollars worth of damage. Heavy snowfall continued today with falling temperatures that, in some sections dropped to zero. High winds swirled snow into deep drifts and the weather man, predicted that the thermometer, hovering around 16 hero at midday, would drop sharply tonight to an average of eight to 10 above zero. Lights, heat and telephones were missing from many homes and street car service was stopped dur ing the week-end.

Superintendent Grigg Is out of town for several days, and no direct orders had been sent out from his offloe this morning to the schools.

The date for the re-opening of city schools is January 6th, and they will probably open on time, since the snow should be melted by that time. Boiling Springs will open January 6th, instead of Thursday of this week as was previously planned. Fighter Dies SAN FRANCISCO, Dee. 30.—(/Pj— Lieut.
