DANGEROUS MOTORCYCLES AND
SIDEWALKS.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
A great number of very pleasing
compliments are paid by visitors as to
the appearance of our city, the energy.
activity and progressiYeness displayed
by the merchants and others, and es-
pecially upon the neat, natty, and clean
appearance of the streets. yet there are
some defects that should, and do, call
for immediate and prompt attention,
and a remedy applied One of these is
the danger to pedestrians generally,
but especially to children, and aged or
feeble persons. I refer to the great
speed with which the motorcycles are
driven along the streets by the youths
who ride them. Passing along Mesa
avenue a short time ago, between San
Antonio and Mills, the streets at the
curb on both sides being lined with
autos and horse vehicles standing
waiting for their owners who were do
ing business in the stores and offices,
a large number Of pedestrians throng-
ing the sidewalks and crossing and re-
crossing the streets at many points,
there came careering along the street
at a speed of not less than 10 miles
and probably nearer 10 miles an hour.
a youth who appeared to be master Of
his machine as he curved in and out
among vehicles and people; yet 1t is
not difficult to conceive how easily a
collision might have taken place which
would have been disastrous to all con-
The street in which I live. North FL
Paso street, seems to be a faYorite
speeding ground for these joy riders.
1t has on the north end a very steep
grade, and these unthinking people
seem to delight in rushing their ma
chimes at top speed to make the grade
and return down with equal velocity,
or possibly an increase, to show what
their machines are capable of accom-
plishing. 1t was only yesterday that
an elderly man was knocked down at
the junction of Oregon and San Antonio
streets, a case in point.
Another matter, and equally as i'm
portant, is the state of the sidewalks in
several of the streets For a case in
point I will take the street in which I
reside, North FL Paso street One can
not but be disguised at the state in
which these walks are in on both sides
of the street. At one place on the
west side just south of Boulevard, a
piece has just been newly concerted,
the walk has been lowered in this new
miniature precipice of about Is inches
without any attempt to connect the two
levels, or in any way to provide against
what may cause a serious accident to a
pedestrian. On the east side, just north
OF Boulevard, there is another place
very similar, but. not so dangerous as
the earth here forms a slOping con-
nection. But this is not all. There
are many other places varying in depth
from eight inches downward, where the
concrete is broken away or left In
finished, causing traps for the feet of
feeble and aged persons.
In some of these places the concrete
oYerlaps, forming a little ledge in
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-09-09

which the toes OF the passersby can
easily be caught. This I know to my
cost, as I, with my wife, was passing
along this street on Saturday night
last just north Of where the Masonic
temple is being erected, on the east
side of the street there is one of these
traps, and my wife unfortunately
caught her foot in it and was precipi-
tated upon her forehead. causing
painful bruise, making her blind for a
couple of days and now her face is
still sore and greatly discolored, while
at times the pain has been most in
tense.
It seems to me that these defects in
the sidewalks of the city should be
attended to at once and Immediately
remedied. Common sense suggests that
they should be made as safe for pedes-
TRANS. as the middle of the street IS
for horses and joy riders.
Who is responsible? Let them be
called to account and compelled to
remedy the evils at once.
Respectfully,
w. S. Huggett

During prosperity money is very
plentiful and there is great profit In
everything. 1t is so easy to make money
that if man didn't hurry up and spend
it he would have to take it home in a
wheelbarrow every evening. Most people
work half a day during prosperity earn
ing money and the other half getting
rid of it.
Money during prosperity is like the
button in the old game, button, button,
who's got the buttOn?" As soon as a
man gets money he passes it on to his
neighbor and the man who has it when
hard times come is prosecuted for run

a fine time during prosperity except the
poor bank clerks, who 60 home with

Prices are very high in prosperity
because no one is going to spend S. worth
of time haggling over a 10 cent rise IN
the price of beef steak. For this reason
prosperity is a good thing for trust
magnates who put up the prices in order
to save people the trouble of waiting for
change, and then forget to lower them
when the good times have passed. A
trust magnate is the most forgetful man
alive this way.
During prosperity people eat porter

P0ISONS WATER
OF NEICHB0RS

Claiming Mrs. Anna Chemecsa. an
aged woman, had poisoned city
water which several residents OF the
northern part of the city used,
Joseph Larsko, twenty years old, OF
Alpine street, Is alleged to have
slapped her in the face and called
her vile and indecent names, for
which he was arrested yesterday and
arraigned before Recorder Kehoe
last night. He admitted calling her
names, In accordance with the testi-
mony of witnesses, but there was no
evidence that he had hit the old
woman. He insisted he had verbally
attacked her because it was declared
she had poisoned water he and sew
eral neighbors used. Both the com
plainant and defendant were placed
under bonus il the
to keep the peace.
People who were acquainted with
Mrs. Chemecsa ridiculed the accusa-
lions that she had poisoned any
water used for human consumption.
They stated city water run through
an ordinary faucet was used and 1t
was impossible to poison 1t where 1t
was taken from the pipe. One claim
ed Larsko and others had objected
to having the woman use the faucet
because she made her living picking
rags, ETC., from garbage dumping
grounds.
