Most every snow shovel in the city
was at work Thursday morning, and in
most OF cases there was man at the
back end of it furnishing the motive
power which kept the shovel in opera
ton. 1t was the first real snow shovel
ing bee of the season, and the shovelers
were out bright and early SO that by 8
o'clock the walks were fairly well clean
ed. Now and then piece of walk was
uncleaned. They were the same pieces
that went uncleand last winter and
every winter preceding it. Some men
are so devoid of pride and energy and
harbor total disregard for law and or

will clean their walks. In cases of this
kind the street commissioner ought to
be instructed to promptly and strictly
enforce the ordinance in regard to clean
ing sidewalks.
