Show ARREST THE SCORCHERS remedy suggested ty by a business Wh wheelman editor tribune ml may ay I 1 ask space in your valuable paper for a few remarks the present bicycle agitation thero there aro several hearons why chy ido I 1 do not think the petition now before I 1 the city council to prohibit cyclists using tho the north side of brigham street should not be granted and I 1 will state somo some of them theirs it Is it urged as the principal argument tor for tho the petition that the passing of so many bicycles on that hat sidewalk la Is dangerous to the pedestrians and that several pe persons ma ns adults adulte as a s moll as aa children have been run over by careless carels 9 cyclists and for that reason nil all other cyclists mut bo be fired this appears to me very unbound nr ar bument one careless person abbia a a liege I 1 Is that rood good reason tor for depriving a hundred innocent persons persona of that privilege it if any one violates lola teb a city or ordinance dirance or any other law the proper course Is to punish the guilty party parly this city Is has as all the aidi nance on that it needs and the real cause of all this tro trouble u islet Is that this ordinance Is not informed Info ce d what Is the good of passing another an and d more stringent ordinance only to deprive decent riders of a much valued and innocent privilege and to be violated every day by the same class of 0 rogues that now cause all this ahl trouble during the first part of last session season tho the bicycle ordinance was fairly well in forced anti and ar arrests r e 4 is and lining were numerous the e effect ff act was hobt gratifying but towards the end of the wason ason as soon as the polac became more care loss the file bicycle fiend promptly fell back to big old habits and racing was waa in an every day affair and Is now it ever every rider will confine confino his speed to four miles art an hour as the ordinance provides there will be no accidents and no complaints an and aliat ha rate of speed apt ed Is fast enough for anybody or if not he can go out on the street therefore say nay I 1 thore there Is but one remedy and that Is enforce the ord ordinances ordinance inanc andi and punish the guilty ps but have the signors of that petition letl really seriously considered what tale they T were ere doing when n they signed or did II 11 they
