 Notices are continually served on people who fail to comply with the ordinance re- lating to snow upon the sidewalks Some of the parties so notified call on the City Attorney and pay the $2 but those who do not are in the majority. A member of the police force said this morning that notices had been served on an ex-alder- man, who is at present holding a more lucrative office, but that person had paid no attention to them. He has charge of property on State street and the officer said he believed that the snow had not been cleared off from the walk this winter. There seems to be growing disrespect for the city ordinances. Indeed it is said that none of them are good for anything when tested in the Supreme Court
