By unanimous vote the New York alder
men killed the movement to enforce the use
Of brakes on bicycles. The committee to
which Alderman Halls resolution favor
Ing bicycle brakes was referred reported
as follows:
your committee has thoroughly consid-
cred the subject and finds that the pro-
posed requirement would entail a hardship
upon many riders whose bicycles are not
equipped with brakes, and in view of the
very pronounced difference of opinion os
to the necessity therefor. your committee
believes that it would be unwise at present
to place further restrictions OF such a
nature upon wheelmen, and therefore
recommend that action on the proposed
resolution be postponed Indefinitely and
that the same be placed on file"
