Considerable adverse comment has
been occasioned by Section 8. OF the pro-
posed ordinance published in last weeks
Enterprise. which provides that-''every
bicycle used within the city limits shall
carry on tho front part thereof lamp"
etc. 1t is contended that the ordinary
bicycle driven by pedal power. is vehi-
Gle Of danger only to the rider. upon our
fairly well lighted streets. and that the
use Of bicycle lamps would not safeguard
the general public. which appears to have
been tho intent Of the trainers Of the or
dinance. The Enterprise would suggest
that some Of the interested parties petit
ton the council to have this section Of the
proposed ordinance eliminated.
