Is the Snow Ordinance Correct?

Some years ago large property-owner
was fined in the Police Court for not hav-
ing the snow removed from the front Of
his premises He appealed to the Hust-
ings Court, and the ordinance was pro-
nounced unconstitutional. A resolution
was then introduced in the CityCounciland
referred to the Committee on Ordinances.
That committee drew up an ordinance,
which was submitted to the city attorney.
That officer pronounced that ordinance
unconstitutional. By this time winter
was over, and the matter was dropped.
The question now is, under what Ordi-
nance are people required to clean off
snow or pay fine. Is the ordinance as
worked under now constitutional or not
The snow should be removed, no one COM
plains of the proper and impartial en-
forcement of the law, but is there any law
on the subject, is the question. Is it a
snow ordinance, or is it no ordinance?
