In the I opinion of the board this is the only | way the new sidewalk law can be ap- l piled without giving some people an op- l portunity to get something from the l public which they are not entitled to and never was intended for them. I With view to taking hold of the ques- ] ton in systematic way the superin- l tendent of streets was requested to sub- init list of sidewalks out of repair to the board at its next meeting. ] The board adjourned for a week.
