PROHIBIT PRIVATE sPRINKLING.

City Attorney Says the Council Has
Authority to Do So.
City Attorney Scott has written an opin-
ion to the Board of Public Works as to the
power of the Common Council to prohibit
the sprinkling of improved streets. The at
torney holds that the Council could pro-
hibit sprinkling by property owners if IT
were found that such sprinkling was nui-
sance or injurious to public health. This
would be a question for the courts to decide
after the enactment OF an ordinance. At
torney Scott did not see how the Council
could leave 1t discretionary with the Board
of Public Works to say what streets should
or should not be sprinkled by property own
