as to the facts regarding the sidewalk
ordered on North Sixth street by the
city council Friday evening. 1t was
stated at the meeting that DR.. Mes
sick had refused to lay q new walk
and the official minutes contain the
following record Of the order:
at was moved, seconded and SC
ordered that Street Commissioner
Powell be authorized and directed to
proceed at once to lay brick walk on
north side Sixth street, between
Spruce and Buckeye, said property
being owned by DR.. Messick and that
the expense Of same be entered on tax
roll against said property"
DR.. Messick called at the REFLECT.
OR office and said emphatically
that he had never been so notified,
that he had never refused toput down
a walk and that he intends to lay one
soon. He says the councils action
was entirely under a misapprehension
as to the facts. DR.. Messick has
greatly improved his property and
purposes making it one of the most
attractive in the city.
