FLAPS NAY REMAIN.
Methods of constructing awnings over
sidewalks. with especial reference to the
flaps, have been under inspection by Bnho'
ing Inspector Brady. 1t was believed that
the side flaps could be dispensed Win,
with the object of reducing the Obstructive
features.
Mt Brady has reached the conclusion,
however. that flaps may stay, as to re-
move them will not materially enhance
the view, and they serve as additional
nrotection. In many cases, to goods ex-
posed in show windows, and also, In rainy
weather. are of advantage to pedestrians.
