violation of the city ordinance
in regard to riding bicycles on
the sidewalks and the ARGUS
has before made mention of the
fact. Only those who ride bicy-
cles can appreciate the privilege
that has been granted them by
the Board of Aldermen and it
seems strange that those for
whom the concession was made
should utterly disregard the e
strictions that accompany the
privilege. II no attention is paid
to these warnings and the law is
not complied with, it is only a

bicycles will be put in the street.
Perhaps the police have not
been doing their duty. The law
is very plain in regard to this
matter and it is the business of
the police to enforce it. When
the law is violated they have no
alternative but to arrest and
briug to justice the guilty party.
Som few arrests would stop the
complaint and insure the safety
of the persons of pedestrians.

Notwithstanding habits.
