walks (if the artificial building line

ary that tho street or sidewalk
should be further narrowed for the
private use of one or more persons.
In the particular case in question.
Mr.. ADramson's showcase occupies
one cigth OF the sidewalk at that
point. The placing o fthe case in
that position is unauthorized and less
ems the passage at that point for pri-
vate purposes only. 1t appears TO
my mind that it unnecessarily i'm

that extent. thus answering the def
inition Of an obstruction or nuisance
as given by the court in the case Of

at that point is for the public use.
and if Mr.. Abramson can apprOpri-
ale one eigth OF it TO his private use
there would be no reason why another
merchant might not appropriate one
half OF the sidewalk for the same
purpose. Some reasonable limit
should be placed upon the private
use OF the street, and can see ne
good reason why the artificial build
ing line, as above described. should
not be held 10 4 reasonable llmlt,
and that any structure or appurtcn-
ancc extending beyond that line be
held to be & nuisance. The imposition
of a fine is hardly necessary to bring
about n removal Of the obstruction
in this particular case, but in order
that if deemed advisable a test case
may be made Of it, minimum line
of five dollars is imposed that there
may be Judgment from which to ap-
peal.
