BICYCLE BELLS MUST RING
Mayor Ross Says Ordinance Won't Ne Re
pealed

Mayor Ross said yesterday that there
was little probability that the council
would repeal the clause OF the bicycle or
dinance requiring the ringing of bells at
crossings. He says all this jingle is
sort OF amusement growing out OF the
novelty Of 1t and Will soon be left off
He thought il wasn't necessary TO ring
when there was no one around but was
necessary to have the ordinance for the
protection of footmen. Some of the rid
ers had got careless but could be brought
TO time now, in case Of negligence. He
thought the ordinance was lenient as
most cities make II compulsory TO have
lamps and do not allow the use Of the
sidewalks a any time. The ordinance
distinctly states" he said. that the bell
must be known as a bicycle bell. a cow
bell isn't known as a bicycle bell and
some OF these fellows will be jerked UP
for slashing around with COW bells and
raising such a racket"
