As meeting Of the Common
Council held on the first eTuesday in
May an amendment to the ordinance
relating to the width and material
of sidewalks in the city was passed.
The change provided that the side
walk on the west side Of Washington
avenue from Bay6e'7 street one
block nor,h be UuuL tweI,e fcUt
wide ms tead of six as the original
ordinance specified. This change
was deemed advisable by the council
on account of the large amount of
traffic over this walk on account OF
the present location of the post office.
The change seemed to meet with the
approval of almost everyone. 1t is
now understood that the committee
on streets and bridges of the council
t. whom the matter of constructing
part of these walks was left, have
now decided that a six foot walk is
wide enough and that this is what
will be built regardless of the
changed ordinance. We believe that
the twelve foot walk should be built
by all means. The amount in
d ,llars aud cents is not SO much to
consider in case of this kind when
SO many of the public are benefited
We hope that the committee will see
the error of the change again and
Will build the walk as the amend
ment calls for.
