The Snow and Ice Law.
| Congress having failed to appropriate for
| the removal of snow and ice from sidewalks
| by municipal effort, the Commissioners con-
tinued their endeavors to compel property
| owners to do this work. After consultation
| with the corporation counsel, they adopted
| a police regulation, On February S, 1908, for
| the removal of snow and ice from the paved
| sidewalks of the District within the fire
| limits The enforcement of this regula ton
| resulted in the institution of test case,
| the court of appeals finally deciding that
| the regulation was void being an Illegal
| exercise of authority and unwarranted by
| any power conferred by Congress upon the
| Commissioners: that as the law now stands
| the duty Is upon the municipality itself to
| cause the removal of snow and ice from the
| sidewalks, and that it is not competent for
| the Commissioners by any regulation what
| ever they may adopt to remove that burden
| from themselves as the responsible agents
OF the municipality and impose IL upon lnol-
| vidual citizens
In a case of a similar character which
| was also decided adversely to the District,
an attempt was made In behalf of the Dis
| trict to have the Supreme Court of the
| United States. by proceedings in certiorari,
review the judgment, but that court refused
