All over' tha city there Is a disposition to
lay permnnent sidewalks and it Is expected
that a groat deal of this kind of work will
bo dono during tho spring and summer. W.
It. Bennett, W. B. Cheek, A. J. Caughey and
sovoral others on Twoaty-third street aro
laying fine concrdto walks. . Down In tho
business portion of tho city E. T. Miller nnd
tho Omaha Brewing association are putting
down substantial walks on Twonty-seventh
street Just north of N street-' It Is tho In
tention to compol property owners to lay

streets and on Twenty-Blxth street from L
to Q streets. Asldo from thoso permanent
sidewalk districts both sides of L street be
tween ' Twenty-fourth and Twenty-seventh
streets will bo Included. Mayor Kelly says
that tho sldowalks, especially In tho outlying
districts, aro in extremely bad shape nnd
many of tho personal injury suits aic di
rectly traceable to this source.
With tho laying of permanent walks In
both thu residence and tho business district,
tho danger of damage suits' will bo greatly
lessened. In tho opinion of tho mayor every
lawful means should bo adopted to placet all
sldowalks In n good nnd safo condition.
Wlilln a great many peoplo nro lajlng con
crete walks there seems to be a dlsK)bt!on
In somo circles to lay vitrified walks and
theso uro acceptable by tho city officials as
bflng consldercl permanent. More good
walks nro certnlnly needed and icpcciully la
tho down town portion of tho city. To this
end tbo city officials will creato additional
districts nnd will do nil In their power to
mnko better passageways for 'the general
public.
