Sidewalks Must Be on Grades.
That the city is to adopt stringent
methods in order TO secure the building
of sidewalks on grades already estab-
lished was evidenced at the council meet
ing. a resolution being adopted ordering
the relaving of the cement sidewalk
along the Krakauer. Fork & Move build
ing between San Francisco and Main
streets, according to grade. At the
meeting last week, the relaying of side
walk was ordered between Wyoming and
Boulevard. on Ange street. The city in
the past has had considerable difficulty
with property owners who have laid
sidewalks TO suit the situation, rather
than the grade. and in every instance, so
far, the city has carried its point.
Alderman Clayton announced Thurs
day morning that the city would soon
be able to give grades for sidewalks in
Highland Park, but that streets would
not be graded until property owners had
laid sidewalks and curbing.
Maps of grades prepared by city en-
gineer Todd were accepted by the coun-

instructed to draft a resolution confirm
