now is whether or not he will have to
pay for the walk himself after it is
done. The new walk will be a fine
improvement to that part of the. block
and it is up to the council to pass an
ordinance requiring cement walks to be
built in the business district when
ever new walk is laid. They are the
cheapest in the end, besides being
fireproof and great help in the looks
of the town.
