WHEELMEN PLEASED.
Prospects For Cycle Paths Are Very
BRIGHT.

The bicycle riders of the city are
pleased over the prospects for cycle
paths. They have been fighting for this
necessary improvement to cycle riders
IN this city for the past ten years and
at last they are practically assured of
success. The mayor and city engineer
nave both within the past week in their
animal reports TO the city council, rec
commended the construction of these
paths. Nearly all Of the ,cOuncilmen
al the last election pledged themselves
to the construction of cycle paths and
apparently the wheelmen have no Oh
struction to overcome.
The Wheelmen's Protective associa-
ton held meeting last Monday and
decided at that time to wait a couple of
weeks before pressing the matter be-
lore the council. At the end of that
time an ordinance calling for immedi-
ate construction of the paths will be
drawn up and presented.
