Clear the Sidewalks!

Uniform enforcement of the side
walk rules is ordered by the Commits
sioners, in an effort to clear the streets
Of the city of distractions and nui.
sanees which have grown up in the
course of a long period of unequal
observance of the regulations. In
many places the sidewalks are en-
croaehed upon to such an extent as to
be virtually appropriated for private
uses, not for emergencies, but as q
permanent occupation. Some Of these
uses of the walks are most unsightly
Some of them are actually dangerous
Under the rules the owner or occupant
of store in the business district may
use four feet of sidewalk space dur.
ing business hours and in the residen.
tial section three feet. That is fail
rule and should be susceptible of easy
and uniform enforcement. All that is
necessary is to make it plain that the
rule will be applied strictly and that
all existing permanent encroachments
must be withdrawn and the city will
be kept in much better shape, and will
be more slightly and more safe.

eyes to the fact that the matter is
one of very great difficulty.
