Ia TIE OBSTRUCTION OF SrDEWALKs.-
Too much license is allowed to people who
habitually obstruct the sidewalks upon the
leading thoroughfares. On those streets
where pedestrians have NO occasion to prom
snAde, not a word should be said about the
distractions, which after all are bat the bar
omsters of business aad the tokens of thrift.
But upon other Streets not wholly given up
to trade, the ordinance prohibiting side
walk distractions, is totally ignored. Blu
siuess men located upon these streets which
are much travelled should constantly have
in mind the incon1snisncs to which their
outstanding boxes, barrels, garbage, To-,
are continually subjsCting the hundred,
who brush, soil or tear their garments
against them. If the cursingS could reach
the ears of the police there would be some
thing to pay Immediately.
