IL INRE.s1YARtE MrAsrRr.

City Attorney Meredith desired to be
heard In regard TO the city ordinance
which he had been instructed to prepare:
providing that hereafter bicycles should
be excluded from the public parks OF
the city He thought II would be un-
wise to adopt such measure, Which
would be unreasonable. In his opinion
the bicycle was an ordinary vehicle, ana
entitled to some privileges. he suggest
ed that 1t might be well to make some
restrictions upon bicycle riding IN the
parks, but wheelmen should not be en-
tireiy excluded from the same. The rate
OF speed might be regulated, and the
questions Of lamps and bells mgnt De
definitely settled. The matter was hhany
laid over until the next meeting.
IL was then decided 10 open Dlds LOT
the construction OF the armory Tor the
colored battalion, with the understanding,
however. that the clerk should not make
known the amounts II they should ex-
coed the appropriation Of $500 made for
that purpose. The bids being found III
excess. they were returned to their pro-
posers on motion Of Mr.. Gunst. and the
matter OF constructing the armory was
laid on the table for the second time.
