CYCLING ON FOOTPATHS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir -I wish to draw »'"" attention of the polio- and Borough Council to the increasing number of people who go unpunished for riding bicycles on footpaths. The chic! of these ars juveniles, v.ho ignoro adults who ask them to ride on .no road, and they are more noticeable in Main street, between Princess street and Scn.ndiii street. 1 contend that, if it. is unlawful for adults to cycle on footpaths it, is more so for children, and it is high time steps were taken to make an example of some, of these. A child bowled over, cr a bump into some one, brings forth, "Oh, I am sorry," or "1 bog your pardon, ' and neither of"these expressions soothes the crying infant or heals the bruised shins.—l am, l ' U '" "SORE SHIN."
