City considers bicycle registration plan to curb theft
Enraged by rising bicycle thefts in Helena, residents will present a council on Saturday with a compulsory police licensing plan. Proposed by Maj. T. A. Reiner with endorsements from Mayor Albert J. Toberis and Chief Roger Smith, the scheme would cost about 60 cents per bike annually and seal each wheel at the police station. Owners must prove ownership to register and license, or risk impounding of unsealed bikes. Police would check for sealed wheels, with absence triggering penalties.
