clearly relate to present provisions, and il such
a regulation that which has been passed by
your board is desirable at all, II should certainly
be passed in some other form than amend
ment TO section l8 oil chapter g.
A further objection to the proposed regulation
is found in the fact that its terms altogether
too comprehensive; under it the city departments
could not use, without the approval OF the board
OF aldermen, any vehicles not drawn by animals
and, unless a man. is to be regarded as coming
legally under the definition OF an animal hand
carts would be barred off the streets unless they
were Of construction approved by the board
OF aldermen-and even If a man is legally an ami
NAL, it would be impossible under this regulation
for anyone TO ride bicycle in the streets of the
city unless it LOT a construction approved
by the board of aldermen bicycles neither
drawn pushed" 1t hardly seems TO me that
such result can be intended.
But my objection 10 the proposed regulation
extends to the object which was doubtless in the
minds of its trainers. Under the provisions OF
section % Of chapter 2s and of section 10 OF
chapter SO OF the Public Statutes the mayor and
aldermen OF cities are given the power to make
certain rules and regulations relative to the use
of vehicles, and this proposed regulation is doubt
less intended to be exercise OF such authority.
On broad grounds | cannot approve the passage
at the present time Of any regulation which
seeks to impose restrictions upon the of our
streets by automobiles, so called because, in the
first place, it seems to me that this important
subject should be- and doubtless will be, further
dealt with by State legislation; and, secondly,
that in any case the present preliminary stage
OF development ef automobiles il would be un-
wise for the board of aldermen 20 exercise its
powers. | believe that ii would be much wiser
TO wait until developments in this line shall
have proceeded further, and ii will then be pos
sible to frame much fuller and wiser regua'
tiOn than the one now before me

was discovered he left the school house
and rushed into the stable and helped
save q few things, but was forced to
abandon the work owing to the rapid
