In July, 1898, the council amended
section 2 which limits the speed with
which a bicycle may be ridden on
public sidewalk to six miles an hour,
adding the following paragraph:
NO person shall ride any bicycle
or tricycle. upon or along the roadway
of any street within the city of ST.
Paul at a rate of speed exceeding eight
miles an hour
The ordinance of 1892, as amended in
1898, is the one now in force. Recently,
however, two new ordinaces have been
proposed and third will be consid-
cred at the next meeting of the as
sembly committee on streets.
The first of the new ordinances was
introduced in the assembly three weeks
ago. The only distinctive feature of
this ordinance is a provision requiring
owners of bicycles to procure licenses
Tor the use of the same, the license fee
! to be ST., and the owners name to be
registered in the city clerks office, to-
gether with description of his BIZ
cycle. This ordinance, after consid-
Grafton by the assembly committee on
streets, was not deemed satisfactory
owing to the provisions requiring a
that it would be advisable to prohibit
the riding of bicycles upon any side
walk within the limits of the city of
st. Paul. The city attorney was there
| fore instructed to draft such an ordi-
nance The ordinance was prepared
and will doubtless be reported to the
assembly with a recommendation for
| passage. 1t reads as follows:
! No,
bicycle upon or along any public side
| walk Of any street in the CITY of ST.
Paul, nor upon the sidewalk of any
park, or the foot path of any bridge
| of the city of st. Paul.
Sec. 2. No person shall ride any
| bicycle upon or along the roadway OF
| any street within the city of ST. PAU
at rate. of speed exceeding eight
| miles per hour.
Sec. 8. No person shall ride any b.
cycle upon or along any public street
of the city of st. Paul without having
attached to said bicycle a warninS
ride any bicycle upon or along any such
! street after dark without having Ar
tached thereto a lighted lamp"
Then follows the section providing.
than $50 dollars fine for each offense.
The third new ordinance referred to
| will be introduced by As,semblyman
Arosin: 1t does not materially differ
from the existing ordinance. Sec. 2
OF Mr. Arosin's ordinance provides
that no person shall ride any bicycle
at rate of speed exceeding eigh:
miles per hour along the roadway OF
any street within the city of St Paul
within the following described limits
bounded as follows: 'On the north By
