our foot path regardless of the rights of
foot passengers. Now this path is our
side walk and it does seem that riders
might use some discretion or. if they
must scorch, take the road, which is as
hard and smooth as pavement. We
are happy to state that very little of
this sort of riding is done by our own
wheelmen but by outsiders mostly, and
we trust they Will take heed before
some serious accident befalls the I'M
