Show Take Out Those Rocks and Bowlders. Salt Lake City, April 2S, '79. Editors Herald: In regard to cne little pub;ic matter tbere need be a city ordinance made and provided. The sidewalks in this city, in some places, aro not what they should be. Iu tbe diy season, when the mercury gets up ict tbe nineties, and a person is weary, it is very annoying to have one's tired feet slipping about on the rough and loose gravel, some ol it course enough in all conscience and jut the thing to find out who has tender feet, Btiuging corns, and super-sensitive bunione. But ol this I do not complain. What I do complain of is t.iis: You have probably walked bome at night, with your own wi'e or somebody some-body elso'a own Bister, from tbe theatre thea-tre alter a pleasant play, or from meeting after an edifying aurmuu, and ycur feminine compu.ou has stubbed her toe most painfully against one or more of those naielul cobDle rocks, or eveo good sized bowlders, half embedded embed-ded in the sidewalk, and this cruel toe-siitbbing has incontinently driven all the piay-ple.isure or the termon-ediucatiou termon-ediucatiou out of your mind aod out of her mind for the rest ol tbe night. Now, there are places where these I cobbles and bowlders abound in the sidewalk, not much to tho credit ol our city authorities. Therefore do 1 suggest that the city council pass an . ordinance requiring every owner of city property abutting on a public sidewalk, in any part cr aJ parts oi the city, to remove or have rem jved all thoee annoying rocks and bo.-ders bo.-ders which may be apparent in Ihe sidewalk adjoining his property, on pain of having the work done by the street supervisor and tbe cost assessed against the owner of tbe real estate. Tms, it is true, would not be a very costly job to anybody, but it would be a great comfort to the pedestrian pub.ic. It ought to be done, too, atd that without unnecessary unneces-sary delay.
