was Invited by Councilman Ilartcustein to attend the special meeting of wheelmen held Friday Fri-day evening and did not go there as a representative qf the wheelmen of Salt Lake and do not care to do so until they invite me to speak at a public meeting called for that purpose As chief consul of the 1 A W I have always advocated the Improvement of the highways for the use of wheelmen iliul have tried to get n law passed through the Legislature recognizing the rights of bicycles as vehicles to their proportion of the public roads but my heaviest opposition has always come rom nurseowners and city and county officials who havo always contended that the city could not afford to make any paths or fix up any streets so wheelman could navigate their bicycles upon them I am opposed to n special tax to build cycle paths in the public roads for bicycles for tho reason that a bicycle is taxed as personal property and every I bicycle pays a proportionate tax for its l privilege to exist and has as much right to be considered as any horseman rr other taxpayer enjoys in having roads and sidewalks built for their accommodation ac-commodation And I do not think it justice jus-tice to ignore a mans right to consideration consider-ation after ho has irnla his taxes because be-cause he prefers to ride a wheel rather than drive a horse or walk and then attempt to make him pay it special tax for the privilege Supposo they did build cycle paths Jn the public streets and a bicyclist meta met-a coal wagon or hayrack or even u horse and buggy on the path or a part of it who would turn out f And how long would the path last especially In muddy streets Now some may say make it a law that teams must keeep off the path I say It cannot be done In the nubile streets nnd roads unless you build the path high enough to tip any vehicle over that attempts to drive on U or elsexdig deep ditches alongside the path The only way cycle paths aro u success Is whore they are off the road entirely arc constantly patrolled The patrol in Salt Lake does not extend far enough to do any good to ward protecting the people from bicycle scorchers or other nuisances The I property destroying and pilfering street corner hoodlum corer the night howling quartette the sldevalk ball same the fast driving yap in buggy or wagon IJUg with his loud and foulmouthed com I I panions the resident driving his team on tho sidewalk the coal wagon on the sidewalk and thc papercarriers in paprcanlers carts and on horseback on the side walks and lawns the horses and cows dogs and chickens that roam at large over streets sidewalks lawns and gar dens are all greater nuisances than the bicyclists on the sidewalks have ever been And they have destroyed and ruined thousands of dollars worth of property While the bicycle always builds a path that the pedestrian al l ways llclc out on sidewalk or road to do his walking on 1 would suggest personally as a reme BUStest pcrsona1r a dy that the City Council enforce
