New Sidewalk Contract
Subject of Discussion

in connection with the creation of the
Office of plumbing inspector. The
bonds went to the city attorney for
approval.
In a communication signed by Mrs
L. Friedman, president, and MIS-.
Anna NJ Hall, secretary, the Civic
League made the suggestion that
parties be not permitted to place
carriage receptacles on sidewalk
edges, but rather to have the same
placed at inner edge of the walk
where no fence was maintained, or
Just inside of the fence, whence they
could be removed by the garbage
collector. 1t was admitted readily
that the suggestion was a good one,
but the matter was referred to the
general council because an adoption
os it would conflict with the contract
in the matter of removing garbage.
A notice to this effect will be sent
