is AGAINST THE LAW
To Get Opinion from City
Attorney Relative to Un-
loading of Wagons.

The blocking of sidewalks, except
Ing in cases of necessity, is being
vigorously opposed by the police. AS
a result two arrests were made this
morning and others are expected to
follow next week. Max Sacarny, of
297 New Brunswick avenue, and A.
Shapiro, of 400 Division street, were
arrested by Patrolman Timothy j.
Ouinlan for blocking sidewalks
about the open market at Fayette
street and New Brunswick avenue
this morning. The men were warn
ed about the practice by Recorder
Henry w. Kehoe and sentence was
suspended. They were told that no
portion of the sidewalk could be
blocked excepting three feet from
the building line. Patrolman Quin-
Ian said he had repeatedly warned
Shapiro.
Patrolman Andrew Jensen has re-
ceived numerous complaints against
the blocking of the entire sidewalk
in front of the Hammond Beef Com
pany's depot in Fayette street, be-
tween State street and New Bruins
wick avenue. He reports the COM
pany backs it's meat wagons across
the sidewalk up against the building
to load and unload meat products.
At one time, the officer declares, he
found a wagon blocking the sidewalk
without cause for fully ten minutes.
He stated meat was neither being
placed in or removed from the
wagon.
The question as to the right of
blocking sidewalks for loading and
unloading arose in police court this
morning. The police have decided
to secure the opinion of City Attor-
ney c. G. Hommann.
