The COurant does not take kindly to the
new ordinance before council, relative to
the pavcments as thOroughfare for push |
carts, trucks and other vehicles of the |
same description. The Courant thinks the !
calling of the poor man is being operated |
against, and cites the case with which tho |
millionaire may be rolled through the street |
in his luxurious carriage. This, however,
does not convince any one that these same |
trucks and push-carts are not exactly |
what council consider them-a nuisance ; |
that is when on the pavemcnts. Of the
they are all right and do no
injury to any one, but when on the pave
ments they arc forever in the way and
causing Inconvenience to somebody. We
Ire glad that the ordinance has been laid
before councils and VIC hope to see it pass,
md, we believe it will pass at the next
meeting.
