One of the city ordinances that is
broken probably more than any other

the snow off their walks. The city
carriers report that their patrons
quite generally observe this city law,
but there are some people who never
do clean of their walks and 1t makes
their work doubly hard. One or two
public spirited citizens have cleaned
of the walks along the principal
streets with teams, and this is duly
appreciated by the travelling public as
well as the carriers.
