INSPECTION
BY THE CITY

At a meeting Of Mayor Daggett
and the board of public works this
morning 1t was determined that the
city should supervise all sidewalk
and street work done by private
parties. Many property owners
put In their own sidewalks and the
street railway companies set the
grades on the streets over which
their lines pass.
A good deal OF complaint has
been made over the setting of the
grades on streets by street railway
engineers. In a number Of instances
depressions have formed in the
center of street intersections and
the rain has caused large puddles
to form and in many cases the side
walks put in by property owners
have not come up to the standard
required by the city.
