White Bear path problem. Iue Gle" "@
work under the direction OF the couh-
ty commissioners are at work ABOUT
half way between the city limits ana
White Bear lake, and in ten days, IL
the weather holds good, they Will Tx
all that part of the path toward the
city limits so that it will be In excel
lent shape. 1t is already in good oroer
from the lake toward the city for aoons
two and a half miles. There is also,
on the north shore, two miles OF gooo
path that was put in by the White
Bear Yacht club The wheeling through
ithe village is very poor, and the ofhclais
have nassed an ordinance forbidding
riding on the sidewalks. The officers OF
the Cycle Path association have APP
peared before the village council, stat
ed the facts and asked for an appro-
priation.
The village authorities seem to hesl-
tate about doing anything for wheel
men, although it would seem that noth-
ing that it could do would be more Tor
its interest. A little incident might De
cited here. A gentleman, who has an
office in the Gilfillan block, and VINO
spends every summer at some one OIL
the nearby lakes, took his wife out 10
look over the prospects at Wn1te Bear.
They met a policeman there, VINO kept
them off the sidewalks, and, after nav
ing the experience of plodding through
the sand leading reluctant wheels, they
decided to spend the summer at Mime
itonka, where there are no stringent re-
strictions, and where the wheeling Is
good.
A summer resort which reckons with
out the host Of wheeldom, will hnd
itself out of date the first time it wakes
up and looks around. When the White
Bear people consider this, their ideas
will probably undergo a change. -
E. ]. Fuchs and Frank Clinton, both
members Of the Capital City Cycle

do not despair of recovering the ma
