 Alderman John E. Lyddy asked if the Claims committee granted peti- tionS which came in as the result of falls on icy sidewalks, without mak- ing an effort to find out if the city was responsible for the icy sidewalks. He said that if property owners had been properly notified to clean off their sidewalks and had neglected to do so, he didn't see why the property owners shouldn't be made to stand the expenses of any accidents that might occur. He thought that the rich man should be made to clean off his side walks just as much as the poor man.
