CITY ORDINANCE NOT OBEYED

Complaints are being made by residents of the Second and Third wards that many bicyclists are paying no attention to the city ordinance against riding wheels on the sidewalks. People living on Washington and Huron streets say that this evil is fast becoming a nuisance on those streets and that, especially at night, it is positively dangerous on the walks. Bicyclists should remember that on tar or cement walks the wheel makes but little sound and if two or more pedestrians are engaged in conversation they do not hear the bicycle until it is fairly upon them. A few arrests by the city marshal would undoubtedly put a stop to the practice.
