BICYCLE RIDERS
REGISTER KICK

A big kick on the condition OF
the bicycle paths was filed with
the city council last night and re-
ferred to the street committee.
The communication had numerous
signers. 1t wanted an accounting
of the moneys collected by the BIZ
cycle commission for supposed
maintenance of the tracks. 1t said
that the Washington Water Power
Co. had never replaced the track
on the bridge which it knocked
down two years ago. The paths
are in such condition that the
streets, muddy as they get, are
better. Wheelmen, the communi.
cation says, are arrested when in

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
MEETS ON TUESDAY
SESSION or THE STATE ORGAN.
izATIoN TO DISCUSS THE PRO.
POSED ACT TO PROVIDE FOR A
PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
NEXT WEEK. ar "@

Fargo people win be especially in
terested In the meeting Of the North
Dakota municipal league which will
be held in this city on Tuesday of next
week
At that time the committee that was
appointed by the league at the session
recently held at Bismarck for the pur-
pose OF drafting an amendment to ths
state charter act, so that cities of the
state that wish to avail themselves of
the privilege may elect public service
commission, will make it's report to the
league.
Fargo Is specially interested in this
for the reason that If the league
finds that 1t is favorably disposed to
the proposed amendment and presents
1t to the legislature this winter for
passage 1t will undoubtedly become a
law and Fargo will probably be one of
the first cities Of the state to take up
this plan.
This commission would have entire
charge of the government OF all public
service utilities and IL 1t was installed
in Fargo would mean complete
change in the system Of handling the
waterworks rents and business of the
waterworks Of the city.
The plan as outlined provides for the
election OF a commission to consist of
three men, one to serve for two years,
one for four and one for six. After
the first election new members would
serve a full six years so that there
would be new member elected every
two years and there would always be
two members of the commission thor.
oughly familiar with the work.
At the present time the work that
would be done by the commission is
done by officials that are appointed by
the mayor.

GREAT PLAYER IS OUT

New York, Dec. 10.---John J. Evers,
shoe merchant, keystone of last sea-
sons set of worlds champions and an
all around good fellow, will be missing
from the team which was awarded the
bunting by the directors Of the Ma
tional league In the annual meeting.
President Murphy of the Cubs was
prepared for the shock from the direc-
tors, but had no time to get In con-
dition for the second blow.
Johnny came down from Troy and
sprung the news on the rotund boss,
whom his speech OF acceptance OF few
minutes before, had impaired the
cheerful intelligence to the rest of the
moguls that nothing could stop the
cubs from winning the fourth straight
year. Then came the blow that made
the boss look groggy for q minute or
two.
President Murphy had not taken
Evers seriously, but he probably will
afetr this, as Johnny is going to be an
editor. Probably he won't get even
with Hank O'Day in that o'clock ex-
ira. 1t will also carry an "ad. OF the
