Proposed Sidewalk Improvement.
The ordinance passed, at the last session
of the city council governing sidewalks on
streets with reduced roadways having be-
come law by the signature Of Mayor
Simpson it is expected that the unfinished
condition Of the squares on North Alfred
street between King and Queen streets will
soon be remedied. Since the roadway of
this street was reduced with the laying of
a new pavement of vitrified brick the ques-
ton of how to dispose of the additional
space on each side has been one of con-
siderable interest to citizens residing along
the line of the improvements. The ordi-
nance states that lit shall be the privi-
lege of the owners of property binding on
any square on said street, any of them,
whenever all the property owners on any
square shall have put down ten-foot
sidewalk next to the curb to park the
space between the building line and the
inside line of the same sidewalk, and to
erect a neat iron fence not to exceed four
feet in height around the parking.
