The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-03-09

without good roads a bicycle is of
little use, but with a combination of
a good bicycle and good roads, life is
pleasure. The wheel has helped,
through our system of cycle paths, the
men of moderate incomes to derive
pleasures which they never dreamed Of,
and put them on a par with million
aires" said A. B. Ovitt before the
members of the ST. Paul Cycle Path
association, assembled in annual meet
ing last night in the ladies' ordinary
of the Ryan hotel
After Mr.. Ovitt had concluded a brief
address the annual election of officers
took place, resulting as follows:

give the entertainment, to be given at
Conover hall Friday and Saturday
nights, their hearty support
Following Mr. Davis, George L. Will
son, who superintendent the construc-
ton of the paths last year. addressed
the meeting. Mr.. Wilson placed two
maps of the city on the wall, one
marked in heavy red lines, showing the
paths already built, and the other SINH
larly marked, indicating the paths
which it had been proposed to build
this year. He talked at some length
on the subject.
j. E. Meyers. for the Associate ]
Wheelmen, spoke on the work of the
Associated Wheelmen. They were get
ting the wheelmen of the city enumer-
ated slowly, he said. 1t was a signif-
cant fact that tina ward that had
furnished the largest amount to the
cycle path fund was represented in the
city council by man who had gone
out of his way to antagonize wheel
men. Mr.. Meyers said he didn't sup
pose Alderman Kaldunski needed their
votes or he would have treated them
differently. Messers. THAR and Howard
