The repairs demanded by the city ars
that walks that are low and on which
water stands must be brought to grade
Low places in brick walks must be
raised or filed. Holes In cement walks
must be patched. In fact by the time
the CITY gets thru with this thorough
repairing of walks there should be few

few that are cut with holes or dan

Notice City Gives. ia
City Solicitor Northup, and other
lawy hold that under the city's or
dinances the city can not order a brick
walk torn up and cement laid in its
place. But they all agree that the city
has ample legal authority to compel
property owners to repair their walks,
whether of brick or concrete, to the
satisfaction of the city.
The following formal notice is being
mailed:
You are hereby notified that the
sidewalk abutting your premises is out
OF repair, said premises being de-
scribed as follows:
"Section 80 of the code of Iowa
provides as follows: Cities and towns
shall have power to repair sidewalks
without notice to the property owner
and assess the expense thereof on the
property in front of which such re-
pairs have been made. and the same
shall be certified and collected as other
taxes
Now while I am not obliged to give
this notice. as you will see from the
law quoted believe that it would be
better if YOU repair this walk at once.
and therefore I will wait twenty days
to see if Won do not make some dis
position of the matter Ed r Austin.
commissioner Of public safety"
Let Contract Soon.
The city is taking steps to organize
an extensive repair gang to start work
as soon as the twenty day limit ex-
pires.
1t is also preparing to let the con-
tract for cement sidewalks that were
ordered in a few weeks ago. This
contract will probably be awarded in
a week or ten days.
