LATITUDE DESIRED IN DEALING
WITH SIDEWALK PROBLEM.

hAIIIUDE DESIRED in DEALING
WITH SIDEWALK PROBLEM
The special committee on the i'm
provement of sidewalks held Its second
meeting last night and again the citi-
zens failed to turn out to express their
views. Only two citizens were present
MIR. Barton Myers and Mr.. b. f.
Rosson-although this Is the second
meeting TO which the public has been
invited.
The full committee was present last
night, as was also City Engineer
Brooke and City Attorney Taylor. The
committee decided. after full discus
sion. that no matter what final action
is taken to releve-the generally-con-
coded bad condition of the city's side
walks, the Lcgisla ture should be asked
at once to give the city the right to
take charge of the sidewalks and do as
she pleases with them. In other
words. sufficient latitude is wanted in
dealing with this problem as to give
the Councils authority to enact Il law
which. after mature consideration.
shall be deemed equitable and just and
will innurc TO the best interests of the
city.
The committee will continue to hold
meetings until the plan for improving
the sidewalks can be agreed upon. At
the special meeting of the Councils TO-
night the resolution asking for the de-
sired change, or addition. to The city
charter will be presented and acted
upon
MIR. Myers ut the committee meeting
last night favored the city taking
charge OF the sidewalks rs soon MS leg
islation can be passed. and both con-
structing and keeping them In repairs.
The committee seems inclined to re-
commend that the individual property
owners be required to lay the sidewalks
originally. and that the city keep them
in repair thereafter. Tho view is taken
that as many property owners have de-
clned 10 lay idewalk abutting their
property, this would be simple justice
to those who have laid them.
AGAINST SWINGING SIGNS.
From the position taken by several
committeeman last night, 1t seems pro-
bable that an ordinance will be sug-
gested providing that all overhanging
signs of business houses be removed.
and that hereafter signs shall he at
tached to the buildings. 1t was said
that they are both dangerous and sug-
