An early morning stroll of our police
officers on Sunday mornings might give
them an opportunity to enforce an or
dinance law of our borough. The law is
that no one shall ride a wheel upon our
sidewalks on Sundays. But this law is
violated almost every Sunday by the
many wheelmen who pass up and down
the avenue, and the offenders go on un-
punished. People of this town and else
where need to learn the usefulness of
laws unless enforced.

The nature of most of the cases is ma

the best way to spend public money.
