CHAPTER XVI.
OBSTRUCTIONS IN STREETS.
For convenience, I propose to treat in this chapter some subjects which, strictly speaking, do not come under the head of “obstructions,” but they are all questions which have to be considered by the town surveyor; temporary obstructions and other offences with which it is the province of the police to deal are omitted.
The following subjects will therefore be discussed:
([1].) Improving the line of frontages of streets.
([2].) Removing projections.
([3].) Doors and gates opening outwards.
([4].) Vault or cellar coverings.
([5].) Rain-water shutes and down-pipes.
([6].) Blinds or awnings over footpaths.
