BflEftqSSuEo RECMNCIW 6 MRQt1lN 'f o1 STREETS AIO c CliUL ( IIIE there As a result of snme bicycle riders sidew getting careless Mayor Sullivan has other issued warning to all riders an un less this warning has the desired effect bicycle riding on the side walks of Bogalusa will be prohibit ed. Following is a copy of the let ter issued by Mayor Sullivan re garding the practice. W "There is a great deal of complaint ing j being made by citizens of the city men particularly ladies, about the care- and lessness of men riding bicycles on duri the sidewalks. The city authorities doll felt that a great many men having the to go so far to their work, they that j would extend the facilities of the The s sidewalks to them for the use of in t bicycles, but they did this with the aba distinct understanding that when a ope man riding a bicycle met a lady or mo a child, he must stop and get off the Wc j sidewalk so as not to run the risk pal K of injuring anyone." "This appeal to people owning the t- bicycles is made in their own in- sti al terest. for the reason that if they ve are not more careful, the Commis- th n- sion Council will have to do jast as ur we have had to do in other situa- pr ge tions, prohibit the use of sidewalks e al- to persons riding bicycles, now at ns there maybe only one or two PI m. men riding bicycles that cause c rt" all these complaints, but everyone n eti. who owns a bicycle ought to see )O. that the rule is followed, because it re- wouldbe a hardship to them to be of prohibited from using the sidewalks o on account of the carelessness of one or two persons. So if everyone that owns a bicycle would see that the rule is strictly observed or make a comolaint against the persons w who violate the rule, they would be , of protecting their own interests. I fol- want to do all Ican to help all the ased citizens, and I ask all citizens to colic to see that the ordinances of the 'eral city are strictly enforced. If we ventshould be unfortunate enough to ill be have one person injured by a man I riding a bicycle on the sidewalk, there is no doubt that the use'. sidewalks would be prohibited to al.i others."
