The difficulties under which the Metropolitan Railway Company have thus far during the present winter op- erated their lines \vme intensified by the storm of Monday night. A strong wind blew all day. and, notwithstand- ing the fact that little snow fell. many of the deep cuttings whiéh already ex- ist, were speedin refilled. Four cars were stalled between 'I‘hornhill and Oak Rngt‘S, and gangs of men. in spite of the severity of the weather, labored incessantly all night in an en- deavortoclear the line. Frost bites Were numerous, and to The World J. \V. Noyes. the general manager, stated last night that the storm, in the intensity of the cold and the fierceness of the Wind. was the worst that had occurred along Yonge street in tWenty years. A feature which has served to render the difl‘iculties of the Metropolitan Railway more pro- nounced is the inaction of thetown- ship and county authorities along the northern portion of Yonge street. Dtn ing the greater part of the winter many miles of this highway have never been opened to traffic. the only avenue of travel being that furnished by the Railway Company. The coun- ty authorities have. With common consent. placed the onus of keeping the road in a. paSSable condition on the shoulders of the Metropolitan Railuxty. Many vexatious delays to the. patrons of the road have occurred by reason of the common use of the railway tracks, and if the present state of affairs is not remedied by the county authorities great incon venience is certain to ensue.
