SIDEWALKS ON
MARKET STREET

Street and Sewer directors have
the power to compel owners of abut-
ting property on any thoroughfare
OF the city to provide required side
walks along their property. whether
the city owns the land or not, accord
ing to an opinion given the direc-
tors at their meeting this morning
by City Solicitor Satterthwaite.
This opinion was in reply TO a re-
quest of the directors for statement
of the exact power that body has to
compel the property owners along
the west side of Market street be-
tween Thlrty-third and Thirty-slxth
streets TO lay sidewalks. The matter
was brought up at last weeks
meeting because property owners
along that street have not provided
pedestrians adequate sidewalks, re-
quiring them to use the street bed
as a foot path in their travels. There
Is exceptionally heavy automobile
traffic at that point. 1t was the de.
sire OF the directors TO relieve this
condition that brought up the dis
cussion last week.
After heaxng the communication
fro mhte ciyt 12S45 123451717171
from the city solicitor, the direc-I
tors instructed the secretary to serve
legal notice on the property owners
Immediately TO provide sidewalks.
He was also instructed to see that
the necessary petition was presented
at the next meeting of the direc-
tors
The communication from city So
Ilcitor Satterthwaite follows:
'some days ago you asked me the
question: Can the Mayor
and Council of Wilmington compel
he owners of property abutting on
Market street. which was formerly
| part of the Philadelphia Turnpike,
o construct a sidewalk on land not
,wned by the city?'
IT am of the opinion that this
natter was fully covered by Sec
ion 121 OF city charter and the
;treet aid Sewer Department can
ompeI said owners to construct said
idewalks or the Street and Sewer
Directors can perform the work and
ssess the costs against said own
rs. Yours very truly
