New York City sleigh-riders complain that the salting of Broadway is ruining their outings after the snow-storm
The day after the end of a large storm that dumped fourteen inches of snow on the city, New York sleigh-riders complained that the extensive salting of Broadway, largely by the large theaters there concerned about access for their audiences, together with other snow-clearing, was ruining sleighing in the central part of the city.
