ASK NOTHING UNREASONABLE.
The wneelmen Have No Cut and Dried
Plan for the CITY to Adopt.

It is gratifying in the extreme to note
the trend, becoming more general
every day, toward the granting of rea-
sonable use of the sidewalks to the
wheelmen of the city. IN this matter
there might be another side TO the case
if the whee men were disposed to de-
mand something manifestly against the
interests of the city. On the contrary,
they merely ask for certain privilege
for which they are willing to pay a
license fee, if thought desirable; or
would bond themselves to live up to
certain rules which would protect the
interests of the pedestrians. The
wheelmen have no cut and dried plan
to ask for. They are willing to take
anything reasonable that the council
will grant. If neither of the proposed
plans is sufficient, why adopt some
other. This matter can be amicably
adjusted on both sides, and so that the
interests of both the city and the wheel
men can be protected.
Suggestions are constantly being re-
ceived on the best plan to pursue.
One business man this morning sug-
gested that a license fee be charged
and that this license money be used
toward the further paving of streets.
Another one suggested that special
sidewalk of planks be constructed along
impossible streets, on both sides of the
streets. These need not be very wide,
say two feet. There would be no very
great expense connected with such a
move, and the city could then reduce
it's liability for damages on such streets.
If this is thought more feasible than
the other plans, why adopt it. The
wheeimen are not particular about
these matters. All they ask for is
simply the right to use passable por-
tions of streets which, by reason of the
city's negligence or other causes, are
impossible.
If the city would put it's streets in
passable condition everywhere, there
would be no demand made by anyone
for the use of parts usually set apart for
pedestrians.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1896-05-07
IT CAN'T BE ENFORCED.
Therefore Let wheelmen Have Reasonable
Restrictions and Permits.

A question arises with reference to
this matter of the wheelmen using the
sidewalks in otherwise impossible
streets something like this: AS long
as the ordinance in its present form
cannot be well enforced, why should
not the city make a proper attempt to
make proper restrictions and regula
tons which it can license or bond
wheelmen to live up to?
There is no guess work about the
fact that the present ordinance cannot
be enforced. There is but one police
men on the whole day through in the
city. In order TO enforce that ordi-
nance there would have to be police
man on every street at one and the
same time. While the policeman is in
one portion of the city there are un-
doubtedly fifty wheelmen on the walks
in other portions of the city. Every
body knows this and it only makes a
hideous farce of the law to attempt to
enforce it. The wheelmen are under
the necessity of using the walks in
portions of the city and they use them.
There is not an hour in the day, when
1t is not raining and the people are out
on the streets, that wheelmen are not
on the walks. A raid of half a dozen
arrests now and then don't seem to
affect the matter in the least.
There are just as many wheel
men riding on the sidewalk to-
day as there was week or SO ago be-
fore the raid was begun. Our authori-
ties know these to be the facts. So'do
our citizens. And everybody knows
that all wheelman needs to do is to
get tab on the place where the police
man is and then turn the first corner
and run any length on the sidewalk.
Now, in this matter the question is
not whether the ordinance ought to be
enforced. The question raised is: Can
it be enforced? If it cannot be why
not make such regulations under a
license or bond system as can be-?
This proposition would seem to be the
part of wisdom.

CROP PROSPECTS GOOD.
A Run UP Along the Lake Shore Toward
Racine

Sunday morning II company with
others a reporter of this paper took
ride into the country along the lake
shore road, a distance of six miles north
of the city. All along the route the
farmers were found to be busy in the
fields, getting in their seed and pre-
pairing the soil for corn, potatoes and
cabbage, the latter article being raised
very extensively in this section. The
acreage of cabbage to be planted in
and around Berryville, promises to be
larger than ever the coming season. A
large number of cold storage houses
have been erected in the vicinity OF
Berryville, and that place is fast be-
coming a noted shipping point for the
various products of the farmer, as it is
handy tc hip from either to Chicago or
Milwaukee. Everything is looking fine
in the way of growing crops, and the
prospects for a bountiful harvest never
looked better than at present. The
