Horse Sense to Rescue
Springfield, 111., July 30.—Tired and
exhausted from hauling a dray wagon
for many a day, Old Dobbin dropped
his weary bones in a heap across a
public park drive here and refused to
breathe any more. Stretched in full
length across the drive, he blocked
traffic via road he had selected for
his demise.
Being outside the city limits,
local authorities refused to remove the
carcas and it remained there three
days. Then spurred by the decompo
sition of the quadruped’s body, citi
zens in the vicinity prevailed upon the
owner of the drayage concern to re
move the obstruction and give it
proper burial. Traffic has been re
sumed as usual in the park.
THE NEW CITY CHARTER
There seems to be a misunderstand
ing as to the effect of the new charter
relating to the paving of the side
walks, and I a mtaking the liberty
of attempting to explain the meaning
of this charter. The authorities seem
I uniform in holding that without any
ftub-My-1 wm IS a powerful , ( , X p r( , sg charter provision a municipal
antiseptic. Cures infected cuts, 1 corporation is, nevertheless, author-
old seres, tetter, etc. 5-12-20t ized to pave streets and sidewalks.
i The law compels the city to keep the
street sin proper condition, and if in
the discretion of the mayor and coun
cil it is necessary to pave the streets,
they have the authority to do so, even
without express charter provision.
38 Cyc. on page 949, says: “The word
street is generic, and includes side
walks and cross-walks: and the power
to improve streets includes the power
to lay sidewalks. The municipality
may require abutting owners to build
sidewalks in accordance with pre
scribed specifications, and within its
discretion may order a repavement.”
There seems to be no question as to
the right of the city to pave either
the streets or the sidewalks and to
require the abutting owners to pay
therefor. The trouble is, that to act
under the general provision it would
be necessary to require the owners to
pay in cash. If they act under the
charter of 1920, then it is necessary
to make a contract based on a ten
, year payment. In either event a ahrd-
’ ship would be inflicted upon some
people. The object of the new charter
is simply to authorize the mayor and
council to make arrangements in their
contract for the paving for the pay
ment thereof eithe rin cash or in in
stallments covering such period of
time as they may think proper, and
permitting the mto allow a discount,
or contract for a discount, in the
event of a cash payment. Outside of
permitting them to arrange for the
payment for the work, the new char
ter gives to the city absolutely no
power of any kind or character which
it does not now possess.
