Now orders are orders and more so when coming from a police officer grasping a small blue lolder, the contents of which stated that after each snowfall, sidewalks must be cleaned by 10.30 in the morning. It is called the "Streets and Regulations By-Law" No. 908. To go further, sec-tion 45 stipulates the aforementioned order. "It Is too bad persons have to be told," said civic and police officials. No one Is sure-of consequences arising if certain establishments do not comply With the order but the policy in the past has been to have sidewalks cleaned by the public works department, and the work charged to the offenders. And if a citizen slips on nn un-c!e;ined portion of the walk, the management Is liable for prosecution. So it 's bel ter to have the walks cleaned.
