Towns and Cement Sidewalks.

Cement sidewalks help the appear
ance of a town wonderfully. While Ne
Allen is blessed with a goodly portion Of
concrete walks in various portions Of
the city there are still large areas that
have been neglected. We believe ii ~ IT,
duty of the mayor and city commission
erS TO pass a stric cement sidewalk or
dinancc requiring property owners 10
lay cement walks along the property. If
the property owners arc unable to pay
make arrangements to lay the walks for
them and charge the property owners n
much each year until the walk has been
paid for. This play hlS been worked
out successfully in other towns and why
not give il Il trial here? We believe that
il will prove highly acceptable to all
and know that il will bcnefit the entire
