Bicycle Ordinance Passed by the Com
mon Council at Menasha.
Menasha, Wis, July o. Special T.
The Menasha city council met last night
and considerable business of Importance
was transacted. A memorial from the
school board was presented requesting
the appropriation of $4,000 to complete
the expense of building the high school
and $4,000 to repair the grounds. 1t was
referred to a committee. The ordinance
for paving Washington street bridge
came up for final consideration and was
passed over the mayors veto. The bl-
cycle ordinance. which has been the sub
ject of rHuch discussion in this city, was
also passed over the mayors veto. The
mayor gave his reasons for ObJectlng to
the passage of the ordinance stating that
first he believed the ordinance was care
lessly drawn: secondly after fOrblddIng
more than three persons riding abreast it
authorizes racing on the public streets,
and IF anyone was injured by careless
rider they would be unable 10 collect
damages" The ordinance also requires
all bicycle riders to carry bells ON their
wheels and lanterns at night and pro-
hibits riders from going faster than ten
miles am hour through public streets and
must nos exceed six miles per hour ap-
preaching crossings. All riders are re-
stricted from riding on sidewalks. Nee
nah riders use the Menasha streets at all
hours and 1t will be a difficult matter to
compel them to live up to the require
ments of sgTne sections of the ordinance.
The only legislation against bicycles IN
Neenah is tire law which prohibits wheel
men from riding on sidewalks.
