No Law for Cleaning of Sidewalks.

There has been considerable criticism OF
superintendent Powell lately, because he
has not compelled property owners to clear
the snow from their walks. There seems
to be a general idea that there is a city
ordinance to the effect that property own
ers may be compelled to clear their walks.
Superintendent Powell was seen yesterday
about this matter and said.
There is no such ordinance in existence.
/ have consulted the city attorney and he
informs me that such an ordinance was
drawn up for the council last March, but
1t was never passed. Whenever there is a
law made which authorizes me to enforce
the clearing of the walks 1 will be only too
glad to enforce it."
