There is a bye-law which bears upon this point ; butitis only applicable to certain streets in and about the middle of the city. The law being manifestly unfair, it is not to be wondered that its enforcement is

‘the exception rather than the rule.

In view of thesé Conditions, the City Surveyor, Mr. Nicholson, has tormulated a scheme which furnishes a solution

of the problem. His plan is to di- vide the city into sections, each sec- tion being in charge of a foreman who will have a number of men un- der him. After a snow storm it will be the duty of each foreman to order his men out promptly and clean the sidewalks and crossings, thoroughly, and he is also to see that the drains are kept open in soft weather.

This work would, of course, cost | the city something, and to meet it

tax of one cent per foot be imposed, the amount to be added to the tax of ‘ach owner or } the The burden would fall whtly upon each citizen;—indeed it uld be much less than many pay For instance, the cost
