Covered Walks
For the Protection
Of Pedestrians

City Commissioners Jardine and Hum
mel, Structural Engineer Brown of the
city building department and contractors
erecting buildings at Fifteenth and Six
teenth and Farnam streets yesterday
agreed that seven-foot covered passage
ways for pedestrians passing these strlc-
lures would serve the best interests of
the public.
This matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the city council by business men
directly south and east of the Rose build
ing at Sixteenth and FarnRm streets,
their contentious being that the closing
of the sidewalks seriously effects their
business. They further contended that
the contractors are not observing the
building ordinances.
These passageways will be placed just
outside of the curb lines. Engineer
Brown and the contractors convinced the
city commissioners that as a safety-first
proposition It would be unwise to place
the walks inside the curb line, because
of the possible dangers of falling ma
terial.
Our building laws give the city build
ing department discretionary powers in
a matter of this kind. It is obvious that
when a heavy piece of material falls II
is more likely to fall inside than outside
of the sidewalk line," asserted Mr..
Brown.
ton. he said: Il would not be a party
to allowing these covered walks inside OF
the sidewalk line. Human line is Of more
