New York Court of Appeals

The Village of Carthage, Respondent v. Carlos L. Frederick, Appellant

October 7, 1890122 N.Y. 268

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the Village of Carthage's ordinance requiring owners to remove snow and ice from sidewalks within a set time is a valid exercise of police power and does not constitute an unconstitutional taking of private property.
