RIDE MOTOR CYCLES

The Street and Sewer Directors at their
meeting this morning considered the mat
ter of providing vehicles for the street
commissioner and Engineer Taylor. The
street commissioner has team but En-
gineer Taylor has none. The directors
compared figures as to the cost Of keeping
horse and the cost Of motor cycle.
Engineer Taylor favors a motor cycle.
Commissioner Gray thought it would be a
good idea TO buy gasoline runabout 1t
was pointed out that Mr.. Taylor might de-
sire to go where it would be impossible to
take a runabout The directors were Of
the opinion that a team was too slow for
the engineer and street commissioner 10
get around the city wherever their pres
ence was needed The matter will be oon-
sidered further and II is probable that
motor cycles will be bought.
