Who is TO Blamey

Someone has Numbered either in the
laying of the concrete walk in front of
the Harper or the fixing of the grade for
the walk of the same material in front of
Mr.. Gus Stengles premises joining it on
the west, but who should shoulder the
responsibilities, whether mayor, city
engineer, contractors or property holder,
it is a difficult matter to decide. At any
rate, the uniformity of the walk is brok-
en- at the junction of the new by a raise
of about two inches, and it is claimed the
mayor so ordered This is q shame as it
ruins the appearance of the entire block,
and it should most sssuredly not be per-
mitted to remain SO. The Harper house
walk is laid to the curbstone grade which
would naturally seem to be right. Why
the appearance of the block should be
spoiled by putting in tilted sloping walk
next to the other that has just been laid,
few will he able to understand.

summoned from Brooklyn and MARSHALL

what is true OF notaries public is
equally true Of the judges and clerks

pressly authorized to administer
oaths in final proofs. This, however.
was made to apply only to cases OF
