City Marshal Luther Gray an
nounces that sliding on sidewalks must
stop. If anyone is found disobeying
this order his sled will be taken away.
And the city marshal also issues a
warning to parents TO see that their
children do not slide over the railroad
track or. in other dangerous places.
Yesterday there pSaS one real sliding
accident and number of narrow cs-
capes. There are too many motor
cars running now to make the hills
in the central part of the city at all
safe. Just as soon as Mr.. Cray is
able to be out again he plans to des-
ignate certain streets where sliding
may be done and prohibit it in all
others. Until that time parents should
take responsibility in the matter I'M
less they wish their children to run
serious risks.
