Second reading of Ordinance prohibltin~ ridings, skating, etc. on the

~etter read f~om Rev. George W. Rol~s, as follows:
Gentlemen; 'Per~t me to offer a criticism to a resolution which is
inter, ed to beo~ an ordinance, unless serious objections are raised,
namely, forbidding bicycle riding, coaster wagons, roller skating, etc.
on the sidewalks of the City. It is perfectly proper to forbid bicycle
ridln~ on the sidewalks, as also to restrict the use of sidewalks as
race tracks for coaster wagons, especially on grades - but as the reso-
lution reads,(I read it In the Hecord) it is too drastic a restriction
on Some of the sports of ou~. children. Aa I under~tand ~e resolution,
it forbids the coaster wafon on the sidewalk no matter for what ~m-pose.
~n this interpretation, I m~y be wrong. But I certainly c a not see what
harm is done to the sidewalks by children roller skating on them. Every
other youngster in town has roller a~tes. I object to this provision as
beinc.., too. drastic, in f~ot, it is unreasonable an~ if thiS' is-passed ~S
an ordinance ttie result wi&l be that it will not be observed and it will
place additional, unpleasant tasks upon the officers in enforcing the
ordinance. In passing, I may surest that an ordinance obligatin~ property
h~ghe~s to keep their sidewalks passable at all time would be m~chn~re in
order. Some of our sidewalks with overgrown weeds in the summer and snow
coveyr~d in the winter, are no asset to our City. I hope the above resolutl~
will be reconsidered and reconstructed before it is passed as an ordinance.
· oved by 8tinson '~or.adoption. As there was no second, it was tabled.
