oWberever the property owners win put

for this purpose is artificial stone.

An ordinance, introduced by Alderman
Krouskoff. was adopted during the last
administration, requiring all property
owners south of Anderson street to pave
The walks around their property with arti-
nal stone within a specified time. Such
a nrotest was made against the ordinance
nv the property owners that the present
administration repealed Il and substituted
the ordinance which is now being put in
force. IL Is uOlttdDlt NLell many VI lAlONC
who protested most strongly against the
Krouskolf ordinance, requiring artificial
stone walks have since put down this

we'll known characteristic of human ma
ture Of Directing TO anything which it Is
sought to compel one to do. Had the ordi-
nance named brick as the material there
would probably have been just as many
objections.
The ordinance which is now being placed
in effect. was adopted by Council April
8 and required that the property owners
on certain streets should put down side
walks within six months, on other streets
within eight months and still o hers within
twelve months from the date of the ordi-
nance. The properly owners are allowcl
to use any suitab e material satisfactory

the director of public works. In case of
The failure of the owners to put down the
walks within the time allowed, the city
is to proceed to do the work and to charge
the COST to the owners. The ordinance also
fixed the width of the roadways, of the
grass plats and The sidewalks.
