RESPONSIBILITY FOR BAD SiOE.
WALkS.

An effort will bc made by the City
Attorney to hold propcrty.owners re-
spOnsiblc for damages arising from de-
fec,iyc sidewalks In front of their
property. Under the law the city, with
the confiymasory action Of the County
Court, can compel u property owner
~ pay for u new sidewalk In front Of
his lot. To do this, however. the city
must M able 10 show that either
there IN no sidewalk at all or that the
existing sidewalk II beyond repair. In
order To save property owners from
the expense Of building new sidewalks
unnecessarily the city inspects existing
sidewalks and notifies property own
crs II they need repair. And here IL
where the liability Of the city begins.
The city, having Jurisdiction over the
streets, including the sidewalks, and
assuming the duty Of inspecting the
sidewalks, must see to II that they are
not dangerous to pedestrians. There
fore II u sidewalk IL In bad repair and
IN injury to some person IL caused
the liability Of the city IL likely TO be
shown. especially II the defect had not
been noted by the city inspectors and
the frontage owner ordered to repair
1t. If the sidewalk is found by the city
to be bad ana the property owner IL
notified, the property owner, 10 the City
Attorney asserts, becomes responsible.
But II the property owner fails to re.
pair the sidewalk and the city permits
his dilatoriness, then the city possibly
becomes Il party to the neglect, and
therefore liable for personal injury
damages.
II IL gratifying to know that the
City Attorney is preparing to make
property-Owners responsible for dam
ages that arise from sidewalks which
show willful neglect. Most Of the
damage suits now pending against the
city have arisen from defective side.

In the opinion Of the court, be tolerated

That the combination had the power to
raise prices would not alarm them
much SO long as It lowered prices in

Illinois, Texas and other States which
have expressed themselves recently
on this subject Of combinations do not,
however, draw any distinctions be-
tween beneHcent combines which lower
prices-if such there be-and naleficent
combines which raise them. These
courts agree that no corporation

The republican city convention accord
ed Mayor Iorrlson the unusual honor of
extending HIM a vote of thanks for bis
services as mayor. This was done large
ly because of apparent criticism by a
lo.al paper for certain appointment.
There was no purpose 20 crlticIse the
mayor 10 the article referred to- but the
desire to cay something 10 derogation of
the appOlntee WAS such that expression
was too comprehensive, and seemed to
include the mayor though foreign TO the
pnrK ose. As matter of fact, Mr.. Sadg-
wick as legs! adviser of the board on
matte rs pertaining to public business, has
been n unusually careful attorney, com
petent to advise, as every one knows, and
always ready to devote his time to meet
the requirements of the board. To what
extent he used bis position to further his
individual interests is not question as
to the a1visabiity of his appointment,
nor is it raised here.
The action of the convention furnishes
an opportunity to speak of Mr., TorrIson
beyond the formality made adequate by
voluntary retirement. He has occupied
20 position which he has not flied cred
itably. It may seem at times that he is
lacking In what is called taking the lultla
tive, but this comes from a careful eX-
ANIMATION of the situation and conclu-
sions reached after reflection as to what
is advisable, There is no man more hon
orable, more conscientious in strict per
Torrance of duty or more resolute in fol
lowing line of conviction. He is too
busy man to give attention to details If
there are others whose duty it is to attend
to them and he is not given to lnterfer-
ence unless the occasion is imperative
But he is a safe man at all times, strong
man when strength is needed and an hon.
est man by virtue Of natural impulse.

his earnings were multiplied by fortu-

is wealthy.
1t is not the acute business faculty
