take some action looking to the ad-
dition of the cycle path fund from
fines imposed On "bikers" who are ar

1t is pointed out that quite consider
able sum is thus being realized, ana
the wheelmen believe that some OF 1t
at least should be used in construct
ing these paths. They suggest naively
CROUCH that the bicycle vote will cut
quite a figure, and further that the
large wheel voting population will
probably rally to the support OF mem
hers of the city council who show
disposition to recognize the rights of
the men who use the wheel for either
business or pleasure.
The cycle Patn ASSOCIATION Reports
that the expense of the Lexington ave-
nue. work which is now completed.
has been 1852. So.
The Prior avenue path cost $16S, from
Summit avenue to the point where now
completed.
Bills for work on the White Bear
path done in SO, amounting to about
$3.50, have been paid and repairs to the
amount of $3.50 have been made out
side the city limits.
Work is now progressing on Mary
lard street, and this will about exhaust
the money so far contributed
1t is the wish of the association to
next fill the gap on Langford avenue
from Como Park to Smelling avenue,
and then build a path from Marshall
to st. Anthony avenue on the edge Of
the river bluff. This will be a piece
of the contemplated path that it is
hoped to build along the river to Fort
Smelling, and which will be constructed
as rapidly as funds are provided.
