CYCLISTS WARNED FOR BREAKING LAW Selectmen Determined to Stop Practice of Riding on Walks 6. 0. P. HERE IS SATISFIED Notice Posted In Various Places—Re- publicans Believe Convention Picked A Winner—Expect Interesting Ses- sion—Daly-Conlon Wedding—Briefs Numerous complaints against the practice of riding bicycles on the side- made to the caused the members to is- sue an edict in which prosecution of the violators of the law in this mat- ter is threatened. The board has posted signs in conspicuous places about town, advising the residents of the statute provisions regarding the use of sidewalks by bicycles and. if arrests are made, ignorance will not serve as an excuse, the officials, hav- ing done everything possible toshave the warning generally known. The rights of pedestrians on the sidewalks sometimes seem to be questioned by cyclists and as a con- sequence people are not only annoyed but their safety is sometimes jeopar- dized. The constables have heard many kicks and they have person- ally warned many of the violators of the law. The officials have had their patience taxed by some who have re- peatedly fore bringing any of the violators into court they decided to post signs ad- vising the cyclists of their plans. The law provides a fine of not more than $20 for violation of the law and unless more attention is paid to it the court will be asked to make an ex- ample of some of those who seem- ingly pay attention only to rules of their own making. G. O. P. Here Satisfied. Teaders of the G. O. P. in Plain- ville today pressed themselves as being pleased with the actlon of the national convention in nominating Charles E. Hughes for the presidency and all ventured the opinion that the party will be in the fall. The action of Roo! in deserting the progressives was hig news to them and in discussing the political situa- tion today their faces were wreathed in smiles, A. H. Condell, recognized as the head of the party in Plainville, was favorable to the nomination of Gen- eral Wood as a ‘compromise candi- date but he is well satisfied with the results of the convention. He has long been an admirer of Hughes and he predicts that he will make a satis- factory campaign. With some of the other heads of the party, Mr. Condell believes it possible that Roosevelt will take off his coat to work for the re- publican nominee before election. Wretched Streets. Last week's rains did not serve to improve the condition of many of the streets here and today horses actually wallowed in the mud which is deep even on the macadam highways. West Main street 1s in a particular- Iy wretched state and rather than wait for action by the highway commis- sioner, who has charge of this thor- ouchfare Selectman Johnson had men at work this morning trylng to im- prove it. Mud scrapers were pressed into service and by noon the surface made a more presentable appear- ance. The need of a top dressing for the West Main street highway, which has been apparent for some time, was em- phasized since the storm and it Is likely that unless the highway com- missioner makes an effort to get ft in shape of his own violition, the selectmen will invite him to look 1t over in the hope that he will recognize the necessity of spending some money on it. walks board of select- men have successfiul avelt Daly Conlon Wedding.
