A GOOD ORDINANCE

There is an old adage that a
man is known by the company he
keeps. 1t is equally true that a
city or town is judged by the kind
OF sidewalks it maintains. When
stranger visits a town, about the
first thing he does is to stroll
about the streets and his impress
sion of the place is bound to be
materially influenced by the con-
dition of the sidewalks. Substan-
tial, well kept sidewalks of Gem
ent or concrete, he interprets as
meaning that the residents are
progressive and proud of their
town, while old and rickety wood
en- sidewalks mean to him that
the people are lacking in enter
prise and civic pride.
An ordinance is now before the
city council requiring that all
sidewalks hereafter constructed
within the corporate limits of
Pullman, shall be of cement or
concrete, and that all wooden
walks must be replaced by Gem
ent or concrete whenever the
council shall deem that they can
not be repaired 50 as to be reason
ably safe. This ordinance should
be passed If we are to have a
City Beautiful" the change to
concrete or cement walks must be
made. The only question is when
Is should be made, and now is the
accepted time. The people who
admit that the change should be
made, but favor postponing it to
some time in the dim, distant fu-
ture, will be found making the
same argument five or ten years
from now.
Theargument that the passage of
the ordinance will work a hard
snip on many property owners
and virtually amount to confsca-
ton Of their property on account
OF the expense, will not hold
water, because the initial cost OF
constructing a cement or concrete
sidewalk is not much greater than
OF building one of lumber, and i'll
Inc long run the wooden walk is
lar more expensive. Then, too,
the replacing of the wooded walks
by concrete or cement will add to
The value of every lot in Pullman
lar more than the cost Of the
srgalks.
Section 7 of the ordinance pro-
tects any property owner who, on
account of unusual circumstances,
might be unreasonably burdened,
by the requirements of the ordi-
nance.
The Herald believes that the
ordinance should be passed. The
ordinance reads as follows:
Ordinance No. 2O4.
An ordinance requiring all side
walks hereafter constructed within
the corporate limits of Pullman to be
made Of cement or concrete, and all
