THE PnTSBUEG DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 80, 1893.
GOOD WALKS WANTED,
But Some People Think Chief Bige
low's Sidewalk Ordinance
WOULD ENCOURAGE MONOPOLIES.
Brick Js Kot in Good Bepute as Paring
Material for a City.
A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION BAISEl)
The Mayor's veto of the sidewalk ordi
nance and the action of Councils in passing
it notwithstanding, although not a nov
elty in municipal legislation, caused much
talk yesterday. Th ordinance itself had
been published in brief several times, but
there were few who seemed to understand it
until the Mayor dissected it at length in his
veto message.
Opinions ary greatly as to the merits of
the law. There are some who think it un
constitutional and that if enforced it will
soon be carried into court and struck down.
Others find iault with it because of its invi
tation to monopoly, urging that the city
does not hold out inducements for competi
tion and that under the provisions of this
law it would require such a great expendi
ture fora plant that persons not now engaged
in laying sidewalks will not dare to venture
into the business. But the views of nearly
all seem to be that the main idea of the ordi
nance is the correct one were it not for its
arbitrary features, that it is but right and
proper that the authority to compel the lay
ing of sidewalks and keeping them uniform
and in repair should be vested in a respon
sible official, and that on prominent busi
ness thoroughfares a specific kind of pave
ments should be insisted on.
Its Constitutional "Weak Spot
Mayor Gourley inclines to this view of
the situation, though his objections to the
ordinance are well known, and, as he stated
Testfrday, he has serious doubts as to its
constitutionality. "The new street law,"
he said, "gives the city authorities power
to require sidewalks laid and kept in repair,
and it persons are notified and fail to lay or
repair the walks in front of their property
the city can do the work and file liens
against the property for the cost.
But it does not give the city
power to determina thj kind of
material to be used for sidewalks and in my
judgment that is the constitutional weak
spot in this ordinance. Jt looks to me as if
any owner of property could put down Mice
or any other recognized sidewalk material
and the authorities could not prevent its
beins put down or legally tear it up.
"I am in lavor of flag stone or imitation
stone sidewalks for the. business streets
downtown where the property is valuable
enough to justify the expense, aud in the
rural districts where only a narrow walk is
necessary and the cost but little more than
for brick walks. But there are many streets
where the narrow walks will not do and
where the property owners cannot stand the
expense of heavy stone sidewalks. On such
streets a brick walk proprly laid will an
swer all the purposes and a greatly reduced
cost.
ChlerBizelow Will Not Be Arbitrary.
"Ihavc no fear that Chief Bigelow will en
force the power given him to an objectiona
ble degree. He has promised me that he
would not and never intended to. If he is
able to satisfy the people and keep out of
court with his ordinance it will probably
answer very well, but it will be dangerous
to the bill to ha-ve a court sit in judgment
on it."
Assistant City Attorney House think!
the bill is constitutional aud just the sort
this citv has needed for many years. "The
Supreme Court lias decided that a 3trect ex-.
.. j t.'ij! ii a- u..:u: i:-
leuus lrom uuuuiug uuu u uuuuiu nun
The sidewalk is only a part of the street.
i'ou will find that in ordinances hereafter
the paving of the sidewalks will be pro
vided for in many cases. It would be to
the interest of property holders to have this
done, as it would cost about 20 per cent less
to have sidewalks laid when the workmen,
tools and materials are all on the ground
than to make a separate job of it The
statement that this ordinance invites monop
oly seems to me to be stretched. It rather
gives a range to competition in mv estima
tion and that is the best thing to be done."
Fiercely Opposed to the Ordinance.
Councilman Hugh Ferguson is fiercely
opposed to the ordinance. He says it
curtails competition to a few firms
and that under "it the cost of pave
ments will be advanced, instead of less
ened as it should be. "I opposed it
when it was before the committee," said he,
"and have continued to do so ever since. I
have no doubt that it is not in accord with
the State laws, and I only hope that thev
will enforce it on someone who will take it
to court. I have nothing against stone side
walks, and I believe in having them uni
formly laid, but not under such an arbitrary
law as this."
Councilmen Brown, Ford and Taggart are
all well pleased with the bill. Mr. Brown
voiced the sentiments of the others when he
said: "The day for brick sidewalks is long
past. Stone is nearly as cheap these days
and mucn better. "We have needed an or
dinance to compel uniformity in sidenalks
for years, and I'm glad we have it. I should
like to see it go farther and do as they do in
Philadelphia. There the sidewalks are given
out by contract by Councils along with the
streets. This insures uniformity and saves
money to the property holders. It is prog
ress, and if there is anything we need it is
progress. I do not think it is right to com
pel a man to pave the sidewalk in front of
his property just as the Chief of Public
"Works ma)-"dictate."
"I think the Mayor was right," said John
A. Benshaw, the grocer, "and I deprecate
the action of the Council. It looks as if
tliat body had entirely ignored individual
rights. I have studied asphalt pavement',
and i. never saw but one that I would give a
thrip for wheu used tor sidewalks."
Councilman George "W. Wilson said:
"All the objectionable features were elimi
nated from the ordinance in committee be
fore it was submitted to Council for action.
The talk of it being in the interest of cer
tain contractors is all bosh, and there can bo
no monopoly. Anybody that can work ce
ment can put down the pavement. It will
do great good for Pittsburg. "

The Weakness
And prostration, like that tired feeling, so
suro to follow the Grip, is really the most
dangerous stage of the disease and can only
bo overcome by taking a good tonio medi
cine like
Hood's Sarsaparilla'
Which builds up the whole system, purifies
the blood and prevents relapse and attaoks
of otner diseases. Be sure to cet Hood's.
Severe Straggle with the
Grip Postmaster Foster,
OriUbec, Me., says regarding Hood's Sarsa
parilla: "Last spring I had a severe attack
or the Grip which left me in a very feeble
condition. I had no appetite, was nervous,
and was in a poor way generally. I was ad
vised to tate
Hood's Sarsaparilla
And in a few days I hegan to improve. My
appetite increasedtilllt seemed that I could
not get enough to eat. When I had taken
three bottles I feltas well as ever, and I may
say better than ever. I heartily recommend
Hood's Sarsaparilla."
