enforce strictly tho new bicycle cense ordi-
nance. beginning ON Aug. !. After that date all
vehicles in use on tho public streets must
be licensed. and at night they will be required
TO display lights. Mayor Harrison is determined
to enforce tho regulation regarding lights as
rigidly as that providing for tho license. No
distinction will be made between wheelmen
and drivers OF carriages. vans. drays or
any other vehicle that moves through
tho public streets. Tho sympathy OF tho
Mayor Is wholly with tho cyclists In tho
matter and he said to-day that he will enforce
that provision of tho ordinance strictly. Wheel
men are now REQUIRED to observe the regulation
by the city and park police. License tags must
DO conspicuously displayed, and special tags for
bicycles are now being prepared.
Mayor Harrison called special attent'o 'on to-day
70 the erroneous report that tho provision Of tho
license ordinance requiring all vehcles To dis
play lights after dark was eliminated. Follow
ing is the provision:
