Children who like to make the most of
winters early advances are wondering
whether the streets reserved for coasting
last season are open for the winter pas
time this year. The city council, which |
usually designates the coasting streets,
has not given much thought TO the mat
ter, but members of that legislative circle
are quoted AS opining that the schedule
Of streets set aside for coasting year
ago may be used until official action is
taken, and it is improbable that any
harmful consequences viii follow If the
children follow this unofficial sanction :
Each year the council is asked to consid
! :
,rs who object to coasting on certain :
streets and for that reason the coasting
late is always subject to revision.
