 big structure. Effort also was being

FAILURE TO CLEAR WALKS
 IS NO CRIME
Coroner Phelan Finds Death Of Mrs. Burns Was Due
 To Accident

In view of the heavy SHOWS of the present winter failure to clean side walks is not a crime, Coroner Phe- Ian declares today in a finding in the case of Mary A. Burnes, wife of Po- iceman John A Burns, of 32 Sanford ovenue, who died February 26 last as a result of a fall on an icy sidewalk on High street.
 In finding that Mrs. Burns death was due to accidental causes the cor. oner said, ''In view of the recent snows any neglect or omission of par ties responsible for cleaning walks fails in being equivalent to criminal ity. I therefore find that Mrs. Burns death was not due to the criminal act or omission of any person."
 Mrs. Burns fell on February last while walking in front of the premises at 119-121 High street. Her skull wsa fractured and she was taken to St. Vincent's hospital where she died later. Testimony given at the hearing showed that the occupants had show e1led the walk several times since the storm in early February.
