WHAT THEY THINK
OF THE ORDINANCE
Wkeelmen Not Pleased at First Witt
Councilman Lansing's Measure.
UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION NOW
Know That 1t Was Intended only as
n Ground Work ON Which TO COn-
struct an Ordinance That Will Meet
the Requirements ofthe City..Con.
ference Has Been Suggested.

Mr.. Lansing's bicycle ordinance, as
was expected, raised big howl among
the wheelmen. 1t was the only subject
of conversation around the cycle stores
or where a group Of wheelmen chanced
to meet.
The purpose of the ordinance, in the
main is all right, they say, but many of
the details are decidedly Objectionable.
The provision relating to permits they
claim Is the most Objectionable. Ac-
cording to this section a wheelman
from outside the city would have to
hunt up the city clerk or chief of police
or some other official and take out a
ten cent permit before he would be able
to ride on the street.
While doing this scouting he would
have to push his wheel through the
street. as another section Of the law
forbids pushing wheel on the side
walk.
Another feature which meets with
great objection is the one requiring
wheelmen to have a metal number of a
prescribed size attached to the handle
bars OF his wheel. This, they contend,
would not be so bad on the early COM
ers but when the numbers commence
to run up into the thousands the late
corners will have a pretty good sized
plate to carry around.
bicycles as discrimination against
wheelmen and will object strenuously to
its adoption unless all vehicles are
taxed.
Towards the latter part of the day
when discussion and INJURY had devel-
oped the fact that the ordinance as pre-
sented Is nothing more or less than u
groundwork on which TO build suit
able ordinance and that 1t has gone into
L. a., rA,,
there was a better feeling among cy-
cllsts and without exception the move-
ment was heartily approved.
One of the best propositions put for
ward was to have a committee COM
posed of members of the bicycle clubs
to walt upon the councilmanic commit
tee and offer to assist In drafting the
proposed ordinance.
This 1t Is thought q measure could be
gotten up that would properly regulate
cycling and prevent any unjust and un-
necessary annoyance to the wheelmen.

to His Prisoner.


to His Prisoner.
Special officer Jack Tierney, of AL
derman Millar's Office, had an exciting
experience in making an arrest yester-

Center street and beat the proprietress,
and meeting him at o'clock yesterday
morning on Franklin avenue. near

under arrest. knittle resisted for all
he was worth, and with the assistance
of a female companion, Flossle Hamil-
ton, gave the officer hard struggle.
During the melee man jumped Off
Il passing car, struck the officer a blow
in the face and ran up Center street.
Tierney still chung to his prisoners, and
although bleeding from a cut on the
nose and pretty well battered other
wise, held on to both the man and wo-
man until two patroimen arrived and
assisted him In taking them to the sta
ton house.
At the hearing before Alderman Mil
lar the Hamilton woman was fined SIS
for interfering with an officer Knittle

ENUMERATION OF PUPILS.
The Assessors Have Not Furnished
an Accurate List.

IluNC NOt
an Accurate List.
AS shown by the returns certified to
the county commissioners by the vari-
Gus assessors Of the county, there are
1920 children between the ages of 8 and
II years in Lackawanna county, but this
Is not accurate. for the reason that
some of the assessors failed to make the
enumeration as provided by the Farr
Compulsory Education act, due no doubt
to the fact that it was the first time the
assessors have been required to do this
work. They have not performed 1t in
q systematic way and therefore it will
be some time before the commissioners
can obtain statistics from the enumera-
tion which would be Of interest: for in
stance, many Of the assessors have not
recorded whether or not the children in
their district attend public, parochial,
or private schools.
This information will be more COM
plete in the annual reports of the school
superintendents which will be out in q
short time. Next year the commission
ers expect to get better work from the
assessors,
