GOOD WALKS
NECESSARY
Wood Sidewalks Bottom OF a
Great Many Damage
Suits.
CEMENT OR STONE
WALKS A SOLUTION
Experience of Other Cities of
Great Value at This
Time.

Grand Rapids may well profit by the
wood sidewalk experience of Chicago.
That city has suffered many loses
through accidents and is now strongly
in favor of using only cement or brick
walks. Grand Rapids has also spent
much money in the past for defective
sidewalk accidents. The following
article is of interest and bears directly
on the point:
Unless Chicago can get rid of its
wooden sidewalks very soon Or obtain
legislative relief from the general as
Sembly it is in danger of being bank
rupted by the industry of personal
injury" lawyers and their cOnfederates
in the medical profession.
This is the conclusion that is en-
forced by recent investigation of
personal injury suit against the city
made by the Civic Federation. One
would think from the number of these
suits and the amount of Judgment
now standing against the city that a
good portion Of the population was
in danger of becoming HOPELESS cripples
through defective wooden sidewalks.
The Federation finds that there are
now nearly 5000 of these personal in
jury cases pending against the city is
paying interest on nearly 100000 on
judgments already rendered in such
cases. Tt was found that in one day
during Andrew j. Ryan's term as city
attorney there were eighty-two
personal injury cases recorded in the
law bulletin for trial. 1t is claimed,
moreover, that there are a greater
number of these suits now pending
against the City of Chicago than
against any other corporation, public
or private, in the world.
Obviously the way to cut down the
personal injury suits is to get rid of
the wooden sidewalks. The city can't
abolish the army of pettifoggers and
their medical allies who wax fat off the
alleged ''injuries" sustained through
defective sidewalks. By prohibiting
the further construction of wooden
sidewalks in the city the "s0urce of
supply" for those who have developed
the business of lootfng the city
to alarming proportions would be cut
off.
In addition to this the state should
provide remedial legislation for the
abuses that have enabled the personal
injury lawyers" to mulct the city in
so many cases. One of these abuses
is the bringing of suit from one to
two years after the alleged accident"
has occurred, when the city law de-
partment is unable to get the neceS-
sary data to make a proper defense.
1t often happens. moreover, that there
has been a change of officials in the
department. and that the former city
attorney is employed by the pro-
secution,
Under such condition the business
of mulcting the city becomes easy and
profitable. The legislature should
pass a law requiring the plaintiff in a
personal injury case to file state
ment. together with certificate of
attending physician, with the city
attorney within thirty days after the
accident.

CITY NOT
EFFECTED
Supervisors May Have Place
on the Board OF
Review.
STATEMENT MADE BY
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Law Does Not Apply to Cities
Governed by General
Charter.

A number Of the cities of Wisconsin
are at present considering the ques-
tion whether their supervisors will
have place on the board of review.
According to the law passed at the
last session of the legislature, Chapter
POI, amending Sec. 925-l39, statutes of
1898, Grand Rapids will not be effected
as it is governed by the general
charter.
That there might be no doubt upon
this subject Attorney General Sturde-
want has been communicated with.
He says:
'In an unofficial opion have already
passed upon this matter in the follow
ing language:
u have given it as my unofficial
opinion that the law does not apply
where special charter provisions on
the subject otherwise provide. This
act purportS to be and is in fact an
amendment to section 925-139, which
is the general city charter act, and in
my opinion applies only to cities
operating under that charter.
think it does not repeal by implica-
ton special city charters on the
subject. If you have a provision in
your special charter which provides
what officers shall constitute the board
of review, that special charter pro.
vision will govern, in my opinion.
II might add to that opinion by
saying that il is the general rule that
the provisions of special charters
govern and are not repealed by general
acts, unless the general act in it's
terms is such as to include and speci-
tically amend the special charter
provisions. You see, therefore, that
my opinion comedies with yours"

The prophecy that separate waists
would be relegated to the past has not
as yet been fulfilled, for they still con-
tinue to play an important part in a
