Jasper County Democrat, Volume 16, Number 94, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 February 1914 — A Suggestion Regarding Cleaning Sidewalks of Snow. [ARTICLE]

A Suggestion Regarding Cleaning Sidewalks of Snow.

It seems to The Democrat that either the city ordinance requiring people to clear the snow off their sidewalks should be enforced or some better arrangements made for the city marshall to have snow plows need for the purpose. If the latter, let the work be got at early in the morning so it may be all completed by 8 o’clock, or school time. We used to have the walks cleaned with snow , plows in Rensselaer in years gone by, and have it done early in the

morning, too, and it is still done in towns like Remington, Goodland, etc., and why not here? It is a disgrace to the city and an outrage upon its people to be required to plow their own way through the snow each morning after every heavy snow that comes. Put a little of the corporation fund to practical use instead of paying it all out in salaries.
