walks. and if operations are not COM
menced within fifteen days from the
time the notice is given, the work
will be done by the city and the costs
assessed against the property. The
concrete" limits. as described in the
ordinance, are the same as the fire

will be made in the enforcement of
the order is that part of Main street
east of Pine street, new and sub
stantial board walk having recently
been laid at that point.
This action of the city council in
enforcing the Sidewalk Ordinance"
will mean concrete walks in the en-
