The sentence is garbled. It's not possible to guess what was intended.

The blue part sounds strange to me. Is the part correct? I'd say:
... he said all had been sent to clear snow.
What do you think?I am not a teacher. If there is anything ungrammatical in my post, please correct it. I am grateful for your help.

Re: ... he said all had been sent clear of snow.
Kadio, I looked at the link, and it's full of mistakes. It's not a reliable site for studying English.
The sentence you asked about is the worst. Goes is right, it makes no sense.I'm not a teacher. I speak American English. I've tutored writing at the University of Southern Maine and have done a good deal of copy editing and writing, occasionally for publication.

Re: ... he said all had been sent clear of snow.
The phrase public poor relief baffles you before the part you are asking.
I am not a teacher or a native speaker.
