DELAYED SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION.
To the Board Of Trustees: l have con-
sidered the petition of the property own
ers residing on q street, between Eight
eenth and Nineteenth streets, which was
referred 10 me by your board, and in
which petition an extension of time tor
six months is asked in which to lay and
construct the new sidewalks in front OF
their premises, ordered by your board at
previous meeting.
board or in the Mayor, TO grant any ex-
tension of time in such a case. The pro-
visions of the ordinance are plain and
provide for no extension. l realize how
ever, that owing to the severe storms
prevailing, the present is not suitable
time Tor the construction OF concrete side
walks, and consequently. although the
extension asked Tor in the petition can
not be legally granted. the property own
ers may rest assured that the executive
officers OF this city, IN administering the
laws, Will exercise a sound discretion
and will not compel them to construct
the sidewalks until the storms have
abated and the ground Is in proper con-
dition.
In this connection l desire to state
that no encouragement should be given
to the filing of such petitions, as the ex-
tension asked Tor cannot be legally
granted. Petitions OF This character, If
they receive any encouragement. are apt
10 increase largely in number, and as a
consequence the good work of improv-
ing our sidewalks will probably be
checked.
In all these matters our citizens should
realize that the officials viii not compe!
them TO construct sidewalks when severe
storms are prevailing, or when the
ground is not in proper condition to sup
port them; but when the storms have
passed and the ground Is in proper con-
dition l shall insist that the new side
walks, as ordered by your board, shall
be constructed. Respectfully submitted,
b. L. STEINMAN, Mayor.
