san & Rogers The attorneys for the
Ggerard estate fought the payment of the

Mating The cleaning of chimneys is I'M
reasonable on the following grounds: that
il requires chimneys of one-story houses
to be swept every six months, while CHM
news Of two-story houses are required to
be swept only once year; that the CHM
i rey contractor is allowed discretion as to
/ what houses he shall sweep; and that in

With large property owners for years. AL

4 for each chimney, many tenants, especial
/ b negroes, decline to pay it. In this case
4 he ordnance gives the chimney contractor
4 recourse upon the property owner. The
eT1ers frequently refuse to pay and the
h Zee is so small that it is not worth while
@ the contractor to enter into litigation
llout the matter, except in the case of
Afge property owners such as the fate
Ar Guerard. 1t is claimed that the con-
tractors make it point to sweep the
Wmneys where large number of houses
eIe owned by estates or property owners,
IL then worth their while to push the
election Of the bill, and that on the other
iahd many houses are allowed to go with
moeys unswept for years. The fees are
small that there is not much in the
'laness Tor the chimney contractors, es-
1IaiIy as there is such frequent objection
