One of the first ordinances pissed by our Cl ty t'Ohn’cU, when we get 7 din*, thou Id be one r»quiripg bicycle riders to have lighted lamps on their wheels whenever they ride on the streets after dark. The safety of the bicyciers themselves as well as of other people,demands such an ordinance. It was only a few nighta ago when there was a collision of bicycle riders, ia wbteb, as it happened, none of the ride rs was very much hurt, but one of the bieycles was practically a total wreck. But it is only a matter of time, perhaps a very little tune at - that, before some person will be very badly injured if the practice of wheeling after dark without lights is not strictly suppressed.
