One of the most valuable sugges-
tons made in Mayor Fairs closing
address to the retiring council Monday
night was that relating to the granting
of the privilege to Wheelmen to use the
walks in such parts of the city as are
impossible in the streets, combining
the wheelmen to reasonable speed and
precaution. The wheeling interests of
this city are very large and are every
day growing larger. The streets of
the city are not always passable and
wheelmen are under the absolute nee
essity of using such paths as they find
to be disable; but under present condi-
lions they have to do it at the risk of
running into some minion of the law
whose duty it is to yank them up and
get some justice of the peace to mulct
them of say S. and costs. Wheelmen
are now getting so numerous that
surely they should have some few
rights vouchsafed to them, and it is
not the least reasonable to suppose that
if they we're given the use of the side
walks, except on the paved streets,
that they would injure the interests OF
either the residents of such streets or
the interests Of pedestrians. There
are thousands of times when wheel
men can take to the sidewalks and run
blocks without even meeting a SOUL
When they do meet people, they
certainly have as much respect for the
pedestrians right awheel as they
have afoot. Wheelmen ride on the
sidewalk in Racine and accidents are
very seldom reported. In fact the &C
cidents are no more numerous there
than they are here in the streets.
Wheelmen are, as a class, just as rea-
sonable as other people and it is no
more right to suppose that they would
violate the rights of other classes of
people than others would. So, give
them the reasonable use of sidewalks
where the streets are not paved.
