mv campaign on the issue of Cannon and Cannonism. I voted against him for speaker of the house last March and I saw no ~?ason to change my vote today.THE GENIAL SPEEDinterests and the money power I against the people. As for rules, i * 1 think we have won a big victory, i i of more importance than ousting ;i Cannon from his throne.”Resulting from a meeting of the bicycle board Friday morning, at which time it was decided to bar all motorcycles from the bicycle paths throughout the city, a notice is to be served on the city comptroller and city treasurer to refusei bicycle licenses to motorcyclists after the present licenses have expired.“We have come to the conclusion that there is no way of successfully enforcing the speed law of eight miles an hour on the motorcycle riders, hence (hey must do their speeding on the roadway,” a member of the bicycle commission stated yesterday afternoon.“The bicycle board is of the belief that the motorcycles should be placed under the same head as automobiles when it comes to licensing them, for the bicycle ordinance applying to the licensing of bicyclesand to the maintenance of bicycle paths specifies that only vehicles propelled by manual power—bicycles and baby perambulators— shall be allowed on these paths.“A bicycle policeman is practically helpless to enforce the speed law because of the difficulty in catching the riders, and the bicycle tags which have heretofore been placed on the motorcycles are so small that the numbers cannot be detected while speeding past. In many instances we have found where motorcycles have been driven over tin* bicycle paths at a rate exceeding 40 miles an hour, damaging the paths and putting bicycle riders all along the way in peril of their lives. They are getting machines here now that will travel more than 60 miles an hour, propelled by a seven horsepower motor.”in nr nn nnumWHITEurmirn nun n
