BLOGKING OF WALKG T0 BE STERNLY OFALT WitH For some time past complaints ‘has been made negarding men congregatâ€" ing at the street corners and blockâ€" ing the walks, The Bank of Comâ€" merce and Imperiall Bank corners have been especially bad, while in front of the livery stables the same tendency to block the walks has been noted. Sometimes when ordered to move on for the accommodation 6f the public generally and fon the ‘beneâ€" fit of ladies and children in particuâ€" tan, there has been a tendency to reâ€" sent the suggestion of the police as to moving on. â€" Another favourite plan is to move from one eorner to another as the police move along. It would take twenty policemen to keep the. walks open under the plans used at present. To remedy the inconvenâ€" ience ~and nuisance to the public, Chief Greer has decided to strictly enforce the town Ibyâ€"laws regarding lortering on street corners and ‘blockâ€" ing the walks. Beginning this week, summons ‘will be issued for ‘all groups of three or more found impeding or obstnucting traffic on the sidewalks. According to the town byâ€"<laws it is a breach of the law for three or more to stand on the walks in an group. This clause of the law is to ‘he used to keep the walks clear fon traffic. Those in the habit of standing on street corners or loitering at the busy intersections should make a special note of the police plan. To avoid grouping on the sidewalk is to avoid interference with the public convenâ€" ience. To break the law in this reâ€" gard is an annoyance to the public and will no doubt result in fines and costs to the offenders. To keep the sidewalk clear is pant of good citizenâ€" ship. Good fellows will help the police in this matter for the general benefit and convenience. ‘The match tomornow (Thursday) in the P. D. F.
