The CITY ORDINANCES. 1t all informal
meeting of the city government last Thurs
day evening the ordinances were talked
over and the general opinion seemed to be
that those which are not or cannot be en-
forced should either be enforced or repeal
ed. In particular section in Chapter Is,
relating to the obstruction of sidewalks,
streets or highways by goods and other
articles, and section 10 OF the same chapter
forbiddng the hanging OF awnings or APP
pendages therefrom within less than seven
feet above the sidewalk, We're discussed, but
no action was taken. The city officials
would be glad to hear from the citizens
with regard to the wishes i'll the matter and
a special meeting Will be called at any
time to act upon it. 1t will be seen by the
report of the MAY meeting that move has
already been made in the direction of
amending the ordinances.
