The Placer Herald" says:

Among the bills introduced at this
session of the Legislature is one for the
construction of bicycle paths along
county roads. The bal amends the road
law by the addition of a new section
compelling the Boards Of Supervisors
to set aside a strip Of land bordering
on county roads for the construction
of paths to be used by pedestrians and
aII vehicles propelled by foot power.
These paths are to be constructed and
maintained at the expense of the
county.
The press Of the interior owes it to
justice and it's own good name to be
sure Of it's facts The only item of
truth In the foregoing is that a bill has
been introduced and that 1T is for pc
destrians and wheelmen. Nome of the
bills call for bicycle paths" but for
country, earth sidewalk reserves for
the uses stated above; that not all the
road space shall be absorbed by gut
ters, bitches and roadways. Not one
of the bills "compels. Supervisors to
lay out such paths for pedestrians or
bicyclists, but all permit" them to do
1t. None of the bills provide that the
paths shall be maintained and con-
structed at the expense of the county" :"
but permits Supervisors If they wish. to
improve the country sidewalk-as rule
they never need it, mere reservation is
usually enough: feet and wheels keep
foot paths hard and smooth. With
these exceptions our esteemed contem-

are William Sachs, Earl Barfoot, John

The Committee on Religious Work
has secured the services of Rev. John

known cornet soToist of San Francisco,
for a series of evangelistic meetings, to
begin February 1st. The meetings will
be for men only, and they will be held
in the gymnasium hall of the associa-
ton.
The association is very fortunate in
securing Mr.. Dick, as he had already
been booked for work at New Orleans,

body an ordinance forbidding the use OF
this country sidewalk to the feet of
horses and the wheels of buggies and
wagons.
The bill. therefore, to permit Super
visors to dedicate a few feet ON coun-
try roads for the use of pedestrians
and wheelmen merits consideration We
believe the law already lodges the pow
er in the Boards of Supervisors, but
the authors of the bills probably hold
that express affirmative declaration is
safest. We find nothing whatever in
the bill of Mr.. Ennis to require ex-
penditure Of public money ON these
side paths, except for the cost of mark
ing them by stakes and dedicating them
to the uses intended.
In many States country walkways
are maintained at public cost, because
they are of public benefit. It is said
that the paths would also be used by
city and town as we'll country residents,
and that the former pay no road taxes,
and therefore the bills are unjust. What
is to be said of the fact that city and
town residents also use the roadways
with horses and vehicles and still pay
NO road tax, and that country residents
use city streets and sidewalks and pay
no municipal taxes?
To give any respectable character
whatever to the objection to the bill 1t
should be shown that the use of the
country paths by city people, afoot or
cost that would not follow if used
by ruralists only. But this cannot be
shown. On the contrary it is a matter
of common knowledge that the rubber
tired wheel packs and makes a path or
road and never cuts or Injuries it. 1t
is, in fact, considered a road preSerV-
ing method to have rubber shod wheels
and leather clad feet pass over the sur
face
1t has been suggested that if the Su-
pervisors improve these proposed paths

lect a toll from the bicyclist. Of
course that would not amount to much
If five cents was levied ON a wheel each
round "trip over a path between given
points, it would in the case of the Fol
som path, as an example, produce, if
as many rode as do now, sum
amounting to about SO % a day. When
the toll-keepers' and watchers wages
were taken out the county would have
a nlunificenk net daily revenue of about
81 % for which the county would be
obligated to keep the path in fine order,
free from obstructions and well
wa.tered where needed. We do not ap-
prehend that lawmakers are going to
indulge in amy such petty legislation,
whether they are State or county ad-
ministrators. With equal propriety
and equity they might provide a toll
tax for use of the common highway by
one class of citizens, while exempting
all others.
