NO NEW BRIDGE NOW.
The Council Will Probably Put
IS, 800 IN Repairs
ON THE KANSAS AVENUE BRIDGE.

There VIII He No Change IN the Ri
cycle Ordinance Juse NOw-New
@eavenger Ordinance to ne Con-
HIdered
The council Will take up that old and
we'll worn subject, the Kansas avenue
bridge-at its regular meeting on Mon
day evening.
Something will have to be done with
the bridge and done soon. The intention
of making an attempt to build a new
bridge has been abandoned and the old
structure will swallow up a few thou
sand dollars more in repairA
The floor is almost totally worn out and
the PLANES are hardly more than an inch
thick IN any place. Not a night passes,
but that the street commissioner Is com
PEELED to put in new planks- He has met
an obstacle IN his work IN the
fact that the stringers are Civ
ing out and viii not hold
spikes. The street commissioner uses
nine inch spikes to fasten the new
planks, and even then IN many instances
the strin ger will not hold the spike.
A new floor for the bridge would do
little good without new sIringers, and
some action Will be taken by the council
to provide both a new floor and new
stringers- This viii cost the city 80 500
and would probably put the bridge in
SUCH d shape tndl no more repairs VIII
be needed until new bridge can be
built
Councilman Bradford thinks that some
thing should be done to strengthen the
Huperstructure and destroy the OscilIar-
ing motion when wagons pass over the
bridge. Mr.. Bradford suggests that a
row Of piles be driven between each set
OF piers He says that the cost would
only be a few hundred dollars, and that
there would no longer be any danger of
the bridge falling with these supports
put in place.
The mem bers Of the council are ia
favor Of making any necessary repairs.
but the condition OF the city finances will
not permit a heavy expenditure.

THE sCAvENGER ORDINANCE.
A New Ordinance VIII Be Considere,
and There WIN BE q EIght.

Since Judge Hazen has decided that
the scavenger ordinance is not operative
until next May, the question Of repeal
ing the ordinance, and enacting q new
Que, has been the talk among the mem
be necessary to change the first clause Of
the old ordinance.
Any move to adopt q new ordinance
will be bitterly fought in the council.
Several of the members are now opposed
to giving the mayor the option as to the
number Of scavengers- Councilman
Stephenson OF the Second ward will lead
the fight He now thinks that the num-
Der of city scavengers should not be fixed,
and that any one who pays the necessary
license and has the prescribed sanitary
apparatus should be allowed to work.

NO REPORT on BICYCLES.
Committee on Streets and Walks VIII Not
Act on the bicycle Ordinance


The bicycle ordinance is worrying
some of the members Of the council It
seems that the Impression is general
that the ordinance is too severe IN its
provisions and that it would never be
enforced if adopted
The registration clause is causing the
greatest opposition. 1t provides that
every bicycle owner must register with
the city clerk and receive a tag to fasten
to the wheel The object Is to assist in
the Identification of the owner in case of
an accident and to identify the wheel if
stolen.
One of the counciImen said that it
would be just as sensible to require
every man who owns a horse to register.
The ordinance will not pass. Council
man Stephenson thinks that the ordi-
nance now in force to prevent riders
from using the sidewalks is all that is
necessary.
The ordinance was referred to the
committee on streets, and the committee
is not particular about reporting. They
held a meeting and concluded to refer
the ordinance back to the council with
out recommendation
There is one matter that the council
ought to include IN a new ordinance, if
one is adopted, and a new one is bound
to be adopted sooner or later. and that
is that no bicycle rider shall go faster
than eight miles an hour within the city
limits. 1t is because of racing and
speeding" that people are run down
and injured in the streets. The council
can not afford to neglect this matter.
