WheeImen VIII Petition the Council
for One on Grace street.
The Richmond League of Wheelmen
have inaugurated a campaign for good
streets. and they purpose making u
an exceedingly active one.
The Board OF Directors recently APP
pointed by the league will. meet early
next week t. draw up a petition, and
they will then go before the Council
and insist upon the putting down OF
granolithic gutter along both sides CT
Grace Street from the Capitol Square
to Richmond College. The idea Of the
board is TO have this gutter four feet
wide, which will give the wheelmen
good roadbed for travel in either wet
or dry weather The cost OF such
gutter, the wheelmen say. would be
quite small, and it would cot only prove
a great convenience TO riders Of the bike,
but Will greatly enhance the beauty CT

A mass-meeting Of wheelmen will be
held in the near future TO discuss this
question, and great pressure witt be
brought 20 bear upon the Council to
have the improvement made.
