"1 ii PROPERTY NATATORiMM City Engineer Makes De cision as to the Jog of Root's Property on Sev enth Street; City Engineer Osgood has made his decision in regard to the. jog of John M. Root 's property on the comer of Seventh and Riverside avenue. The curb of the street will be placed against tho property line, doing away with a sidewalk entirely. Tim; decision was roached early Monday morning after the engineer had tried in various ways to work out another solution. Tho jog nt the, point in question amounts to 20 feet. If a sidewalk was put in it would extend into the street 30 foot viewed from the property line on tho west side of S. Riverside avenue. As Mr. Root did not sec his way clear to give a portion ot his property for sidewalk purposes, he will not have a sidewalk on the Seventh street side of the new building he contemplates erect ing on that site. The engineer states that his decision was based upon several things, chief among which was the fact that by put ting the curb on the property line the greatest good would be done the great est number. A projection such as would occur if the sidewalk would be put in would be a constant menace to traffic at that point. Tn no way could the matter he adjusted so that the sidewalk could be put in and not project into tlie street. The engineer will stake out the line for the curb late Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. Mr. Root may get out an injunction against the city, but inasmuch as the city council has the right tn regulate all street improvement it is n question whether he can force the city to place a sidewalk in front of tho building. The city council on last Friday eve ning referred the matter to Engineer Osgood with full power to net as In1 saw fit.
