To the Editor of The Times:

livery wagons, carts, and other heavy vehicles
can be at any time during the day on the

Il would also be advisable for the Commits
sioners to notice the danger to the pedestrians
and other riders caused by the presence on the
streets Of that class Of riders who carry gas and
water keys about town with them. These keys
are about six seven feet long, and are at
tached to the bicycles in such manner as TO
extend about a. foot in front Of the steering
