Will Leave Dry Strip.
The ordinance committee reported
favorably in the matter of the ordi-
nance providing for the sprinkling
of the streets of the city so that a dry
strip three feet wide would be left
for the use of bicyclists. The ordi-
nance, however. was amended so
that it didn't read that such dry strip
should be .'for the exclusive use of
bicyclists." Mr.. Brady, who opposed
the ordinance at Council meeting a
week ago, set himself right with the
bicyclists by moving that the ordi-
nance as amended be adopted. He
further explained that his chief OBJ
lection to the ordinance at first was
that it provided to wheelmen the eX-
elusive use of such dry strips.
The Summit ST. Case.
Mr.. Homan asked Commissioners
Crisp and McMillen how Summit st.
paving matters were progressing.
The report was not favorable.
Then Mr.. Homan took occasion to
refer to the obstinacy of Messrs.
Crisp and McMillen, denouncing the
fact that two men were, and had
been for some time, holding back
from the people improvements for
which they Were really ready and
willing to pay.
The Commissioners excuse was
that the majority of the people were
not favorable to making the improve
ments in question.
This statement was emphatically
contradicted by Messrs. Homan and
Brady.
To Vote.
