amply proves that a growing city sell
dom makes a mistake in providing l.b-
orally for its future development An
expensive improvement often meets
with violent opposition and acrimonious
criticism; but, if it is wisely and rea-
sonably planned and properly executed,
it rarely proves to be a mistake, and
after a few years the people would, not
allow It's destruction at any price.
Serving as we do, without pecuniary
compensation and with little public
commentator, we must find our re-
ward in the consciousness Of duty faith
fully performed and in the knowledge
that we are connected with improve
ments and reforms that will beautify
our city and benefit all future genera
tons
I hope we shall have the disposition
and the courage to do our share Of the
government of this city IN the spirit Of
progress and reform. And we, in con-
nection with the common council can
do a great deal in this direction, for 1t
will be incumbent upon us. as the legis-
lat:ye department of the government, to
take the initiative in every measure,
while the executive department can
only execute the work that we shall or
der.
If we enter upon our new duties in
this spirit,
"Others, I doubt not, If not We,
The issue of our toll shall see.
The election of a city clerk was the
ne 1t business in order. Aldermen
THOMPSON and O'Connell were appoint
ed the teNers and reported votes cast
for Enoch H. Towne, and l blank. CITY
Clerk Towne was declared reelected on
the part of the board.
On motion of Alderman Hildretn, the
rules and orders of the board Of 1897
were adopted until otherwise o~anred.
The Joint rules and orders were adopted
with an amendment striking out the
provision requiring the city clerk 10 ACT
as clerk of committees; this having
been provided for in the ordinance that
the assistant clerk Of the board OF amer
men shall act as clerk of committees.
THOMPSON AND O'CONNELlA
After notice of the organization Of
the common council was received, the
board proceeded to elect two members
of the finance committee. The ballot
for the first member resulted in the
choice Of Alderman Thompson, who re-
ceiyed votes to i for Alderman Rus
sell. There was one blank Inc ballot
for the second member of the committee
resulted in the election OF Alderman

Police Corps.

AS the season advances cycling becomes
more popular and yesterday was the ban
ner day SO far this year. Cycling is not
falling off in the slightest degree, but on
the contrary interest In the popular sport
is increasing day by day. Yesterday saw
thousands of wheelmen on the Boulevard
and it Is safe to say that this will be the
greatest year in the history of the bicycle.
The weather was mild and a warm breeze
was blowing, much to the delight of the
cyclers. From early morn until dark the
t~horoughfare was filed, but after night
fall the road was almost deserted be-
cause OF the cold night air which is very
dangerous to persons riding bicycles.
Although the wheel held sway there
were hundreds of carriages to be seen.
which gave rise to any amount of fast
driving. This is a thing that should be
stopped and many complaints are heard
from all sides about the dangerous driv-
ing of many carriage owners. As yet
there are no bicycle cops on the Bouie-
ward and it seems that not only carriage
owners but scorchers take advantage of
this. The Boulevard ordinance says that
a bicycle riders speed shall not exceed
eight miles an hour, but many ride twice
that fast. A mounted policeman may be
seen occasionally, but he does not pre-
vent scorching.
The bicycle corps this year will be
strictly up to date. There will be seven
bicycle policemen in all, one in each pre-
cinct. OF these four will have posts
which include different sections Of the
Boulevard. They were to be put on duty
