The Camelot Company, New York, further states that all sldewalks to be bullt hereatter upon these streets thall be of either brick or stone, natural or artificlal, under the supervision of the clty engineer. By the terms of the ordinance property owners shall be given the privilege first of constructing such sidewalks alongside and wdfacent to thelr property, but if they faill to do %o after the council has given them a reasonable notice to act, the city shall bave the right either to repair the walk or to rebuild it and the cost of the same shall be assessed against the abut- | ting property. The council must first eig- | nity its desire to have a permanent walk 1a14, by resolution, calling upon the clork to notify residents of separate Aistricts to build the walks in the manner prescribed by the ordinance and the property owner must be glven adequate time to consider the notice and to express his intention of elther obeying or disobeying the mandate. The introduction of the ordinance Is brought about by the many personal injury claims which are being filed against the city for Injuries received from defective sidewalks within these districts. Judg- ments amounting to thousands of dollars each year have been awarded against the city and the legal department seems unable to stop the rush of claims that are pre- ented to the city for such damages. The complaint comes almost entirely from the districts where wooden sidewalks are in use, and these walks aro pretty gen- eral throughout the city. In some mys. terlous manner they will fall into a bad condition semingly during a single night and a few days later the city is burdened with a clalm for damages. As soon as the ordinance is introduced and passed it is thought that the council will commence the work of passing reso- lutions to the effect that the city in most of these districts Is badly in need of per- manent walks, with the view of stopping the damage claims against the clty and beautifying the town in general. 01d Interest ¥ 1308 Farnam St Telephone rn roll short 20; temp small hting orn in degrees ATIONERY @ Madison (Earlham, R.

Although the ordinance providing for the building of a pontoon bridge over the Mis- sourl river was withdrawn by the company introducing the same, it s said that the pontoon bridge will be bult just the same and that work will be commenced upon it in the near future. At the time the ordi- nance was withdrawn from the council it was not so much on account of dissension on the part of the bridge company as on ac- count of the ambiguities of the ordinance. An Omaha attorney is now said to be em- ployed by the Pontoon Bridge company to draw up an ordinance which will “hold water,” and as soon as this {s completed the company will again commence opera- tions for its passage. It is thought that the ordinance can so be arranged that the question of the granting of a city franchise, which was the stumbling block before, can be satisfactorlly arranged for both the council and the Incorporators.
