Children throughout the city are prone
to ignore the rules relating to coasting
as laid down by the city council at its
regular meeting last week. The most
notorious violation of these rules has
been reported to the police station from
Granite street. Upper parts of Granite
street have been designated by the
council as open for sliding, but the win
ter pastime on the lower section has
been forbidden. The coasters, however,
persist in using the east end of the hill,
much to the annoyance OF pedestrians
and with a good deal of chance for in
iuries 10 themselves. The end of the
coasting trip on the lower section occurs
at the junction of Granite and River
streets, and the chances for an accident
are also greatly augmented by the nee
essity of guiding the sleds through Gran
tie street bridge. An example will be
made of the coasters if the practice Is
not stopped.
