...Cambridge has an ordinance commanding the clearing of walks, it still remains the duty of property owners to make them as usable as possible. On the southern side of Massachusetts avenue, where the tradesmen hold sway, the going is fairly good; but on the northern side, the domain of the Corporation, it is abominable.
