To the Honorable. the President and Com

herewith return Ordinance No. -, en-

to Charles A. Zimmerman to maintain
steps projecting into the sidewalk" without
my approval, for the reason that IN case of
an injury to any person caused by the pro-
posed projection the city would be liable to
the payment of damages for such injury
II the projection is very important to Mr..
Zimmerman. and Your honorable body is
disposed to grant the privilege. he should
be required, before being allowed
to make it, to execute a bond of
indemnity to the city, with good
and sufficient sureties, conditioned to pay
all costs, damages and expenses incurred
by the city by reason of such projection.
Aside from this, think the precedent
such an ordinance will establish is of ques-
tionable propriety.
