FOR BERKELEY WHEELMEN
A Bitumen Bicycle Path the Outcome
OF Agitation for Use of the
Sidewalks.

BERKELEY, CAL, June 29.-Professor
Puizker's fight for permission to ride
bicycles on sidewalks has given rise 10 a
suggestion that bicycle paths of bitumen
be constructed one on each side OF a num-
Der OF M acadamized streets, one side 10
be used for one direction and another for
riders going the other way.
The proposition comes from Trustee A
R. Frame.
81 would favor laying strip of bitumen
on each side of the macadamized streets,
next to the CUTTERS" said he, 'say four
feet wide, one side TO e used for riders
going one way and the other for the oppo-
site direction. Il Berkeley would inaugu-
rate such plan, 1 think other cities would
soon follow suit. The cost, it seems to
me, would not be very great, and if neces-
sary, bonds might be issued for the pur-
pose. A small tax on wheels could be
levied to pay interest and help toward the
payment OF the ebt and thus taxpayers
who do not use wheels would have no
grounds for Directing to the means pro-
vided for the pleasure OF others"
Professor PutZker thinks this newly sug-
gested plan is an excellent one and would
make Berkeley a paradise for wheelmen.

report of Health Officer Dunn on the con-

to by Alameda's official, but he refused TO
point to a single instance of sickness
caused by the condition of the canal.
DR.. Dunn said:
While do find en- unsanitary condition of
the canal to a Slight degree, still 1t is not
any more so, and dare say not even as much,
as the water front OF any city, such as San
Francisco, or the slough marsh lands and

there is any cause of complaint on account of
