SIDEWALK CASES.
Only Property Owners Can BE HelC
Liable.

Only Property Owners Can BE Held
Liable.
President Haddcn was taken aback no
little when the cases against the sidewalk
ordinance violators came up for trial in the
police court Yesterday morning.
The court had been under the impression
all along that the councilmanic ordinance
which compelled the tenants Of all houses
10 keep the sidewalks in front OF them in
rpair, was operative and valid. But
when the first case, that against Mr.. Lch-
man, the attorney, was called, lac cited the
attention Of the court tom act passed by the
last Legislature, which expressly provides,
that the owners OF property alone can lie
compelled 10 construct and repair side
walks.
Mr.. MADDEN was wholly unaware oi
such law being on the statute books, and
read il over carefully and thougltiully.
There was no doubt about 1t nor way Ia
get around il, 80 those who had been
arrested and showed they were not owners
OF the property were dismissed. Several
were owners, and they were admonshcd
10 have their sidewalks in good
passabc order In n limited number
OF DAYS. The existence OF this law will
necessarily rriard the sidewalk work, ~
about onc.fith Of the property owners
