The police- man on the beat will probably notify the owner of the bad condition of his walk. But there should be no neces- sity for the owner's waiting until he | is thus notified. He knows the con- | dition of his walk. As soon clean job, the | property owners realize that by keep- | ing their walks clean, or at least sanded to prevent slipping, they wmf reduce taxes, there will be fewer| slippery walks in the city and fewer | claims against the city for damages—-| which claims, if justified, the prop- erty owners, through the city, have to pay indirectly.
