Noble Young wished, in the second
line, to substitute the word "shall"
for "may."
Rep. Smith did not approve of The
amendment. The word "may" gave
the Minister proper discretion. 1t

sidewalk in all cases. The object of
this law was to give the Minister
power to require the making of proper
sidewalks.
Noble Pua wished the section
stricken out. 1t would be hard on
the poor.
