CYCLE DEALERS SORE
Seek Removal of Present Side
Path Commission.

Removal Of the present members of
the side-path commission is now sought
by some of the bicycle dealers and rid
ers who are dissatisfied with the policy
of the commission. This movement has
taken the form Of petition to the
county commissioners, which was filed
at the office of the auditor yesterday
afternoon.
The petition has twelve signers, eight
Of whom are individuals or firms di-
rectly engaged in the sale of bicycles.
The signers are Grant Spicer, Thomas
L. Bird, F. E. Hopkins, A. c. Statzner,
c. J. Smith & Co., A. A. Moe, c. S.
Burkhard company, George Wagner,
Alfred Mortenson and T. G. Borg.
The petition asks, in the name of the
citizens and bicyclists of Ramsey coun-
ty, that the present board Of side path
commissioners be removed. The fol-
lowing are formally presented as
charges against the commissioners IL
support of the petition:
They have hampered the sale Of Ii
censed tags in the past by practically
mOnOpOliZing the sale of such tags for
the benefit of the county treasurer.
THAT they have so misapplied the
funds derived from the sales of license
tags that the results have been entire
ly unsatisfactory to a large majority
of the bicyclists of said county.
THAT they have, without consulting
the interests of cyclists generally, arbi-
trarily increased the price of license
beyond the reach of many wheelmen,
and have thereby destroyed a large
source of revenue.
THAT they have persistentIy ignored
every request of the Associated Wheel
men of the county, an organization rep
resenting nearly all the dealers and
riders in the county.
That the actions of the said side
path commission have destroyed all
faith and confidence of a large number
of the wheelmen, who are unwilling, as
q consequence, to lend any support to
the law.
THAT the policy of the present side
path commission has not in the past
nor does at present, meet with the ap-
prevail of but a small minority of the
Wheelmen of Ramsey county, and that
said commission does not fairly repre-
sent the interests of a majority of the
bicyclists Of Ramsey county,
The Associated Wheelmen will meet
Wednesday evening, and it is under
stood there will be further action on
the part Of the organization at that
time
P. ]. Metzdorf, county treasurer,
speaking yesterday of the present
method of licensing bicycles and SELL
ing the tags, said:
There has been a great deal Of crit
icism because of the increase Of the
price Of the tags, and our Office has
come in for share Of it. Among other
things it has been stated that the
county treasurer received 1885 or some
such amount last year as commissions
on tags sold. That is altogether false,
as I receive no commission for selling
those tags. The law requires that they
shall be furnished at our Office, and the
business is a nuisance, for 1t occupies
much of the time Of one extra clerk for
that work alone in the season.
I'D be tickled to death if could get
rid of the job"

Waterloo. Jan. 7.-One of the fuel
dealers of the city said this morning
that, although the weather up to this
time has not been uncommonly severe,
there is not very much coal, either
hard or soft, in the bins of the various
Waterloo coal men. He said that he
knew of three dealers who did not have
enough to last longer than three or
four days.
The trouble of the scant supply on
the part of some of the dealers is no:
that the mines have not been yielding
their treasure or that the miners have
quit work, but because the railroads
refuse to or are not able to haul the
fuel west One dealer said today that
he had bills for fourteen cars. some of
which We're shipped early last month
Most of the soft coal comes from
