sary repairs to curbs and sidewalks and
assess the cost thereof upon thesSprcp-
erty benefited" Under it's provisions the
present disgraceful condition of some of
the sidewalks in the streets and avenues
in his city should be remedied; The
courts have laid it down time and again
that it is the duty of property owners
to lay, maintain and repair their side
walks, and the act referred to makes it
ties in cases where property owners fail
in front of their property to cause the
same to be done and assess the cost
thereof upon the property owner failing
or refusing to do SO.
1t seems to me that it might be a good
thing for your Board to ave printed
and. circulated a number of copies OF the
statement to be made by your CLERK ex-
planning in detail the operation and adj
vantages of these measures. so that there
can be no complaint that improvements
have not been applied for because of ig-
norance of the law enacted solely to inn
prove the city at the lowest possible cost.
