CYCLISTS AND SIDEWALKS
Decision of the Michigan Supreme Court
Defining Rights.

Lansing. Mich, Oct. 23.-An inter
esting decision concerning the rights of
bicycliStS on sidewalks was handed
down III the supreme court Tuesday
in affirming judgment for 500 secured
by Anna Lee. Il licensed rider. against
the city of Port Huron. for injuries
in fall caused by the defective con-
dition of a walk. The opinion. which
was written by Judge Grant. says:
While the bicycle is a vehicle. it is
not one to be CSasSed in all its meth
odS of use with other vehicles drawn
by animals or propelled by mechanical
power. To ride bicycle upon a side
walk may not be nuisance where to
drive horse and wagon upon it would.
\ baby carriage is Il vehicle, but it is
hot a nuisance upon either streets or
sidewalks
The court does not hold that the
municipality must keep the sidewalks
in safe condition for bicycling, but in
reasonable repair for all ordinary use.

OPPOSITION TO cARNIvALs.
Terre Hauts Divided as 10 a street Fair
Nsxt Year.


Terre Haute. Ind, Oct. 24-There
is divided opinion in Terre Haute as
TO whether or not the street fair should
he repeated next year. However
only favorable opinions are publicly
expressed. The ministers and others
who took stand against indecent
shows have cOmpllmented the man
agement on conducting Il cleaner fair
this year than heretofore. Still they
object TO much that was done in the
streets. ROwdyism iS condemned on
all sides. 2 lie Gazette states that the
last two nights demonstrated that it
can be prevented by proper police reg
ulationS.
Wide open gambling was consented
TO by the police board. as during race
week. The most serious objection to
the street fair comes from manufac-
turerS and coal operators who say they
are practically forced TO suspend Oper-
atiOns during street fair week. as the
wOrkmen insist on taking in the fair,
and If not really absent all week many
are unfit for work when they report for
duty. One manufacturer said the street
fair caused him a loss of several hun
dred dollars.

AFFECTSMANYC CORPORATIONS
Proceeding of Chicago Teach

VIGOROUSLY.

ESpringfeld, Oct. 24.-The supreme
court this morning affirmed the de-
| cision of the lower court in the Chi
cago teachers tax case in which they
insisted that the capital stock of cor
porations should be assessed. This
ruling will add over 500, 600, 600 to
taxable property in Chicago.
Corporations Hit.
The franchises affected are of 20
Chicago corporations. including street
railway. electric light. gas and tele-
phone companies whose capital stock.
including franchises, over and above
the value of their tangible property.
is alleged to aggregate $235, 900, 600.
The case, which was instituted by the
states attorney of Sangamon county
at the instance of the Chicago Teach
ers' federation, was for a writ of man
damus to compel the state board OF
equalization to assess the corporations
which it was alleged hitherto escaped
taxation.
Board is Assessor.
The court holds that the board in
assessing the corporations does not
act as board of review, but as an
original assessor. The performances
of i's duty to a5sess a fair cash value
of capital stock. including franchises,
over and above the value of tangible
property may be enforced by man
damus.
The decision sffirms the order of
the lower court that all corporations
named shall be assessed in accordance
with the opinion for the year 1900.'
