date .00. 32 15 to I TWO THE FREMONT NEWS- FREMONT. OHIO. FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1940 BIKE ORDINANCE AGAIN CHANGED; FINALLY PASSED Revamped Code Is Given Unanimous Approval After Discussion An amended bicycle licensing ordinance, changing seven seetions of the original measure and adding one new clause, was finally passed by city council Thursday night, writing what may, or may not, be the final chapter in controversial matter of two year's standing. The history of the ordinance has been one of constant changes quibbling on the part of men, and the Thursday night age no exception.

The ordinance was revamped and revised several times before finally passed in 1939 by a previous council, and then immediately became the target for an attack led by Councilman Lester Connors when he took office in January, 1940. As result of the attack, amended ordinance was drafted and was passed on under suspension of rules this, March, be declared illegal when only five councilmen, instead of the required six, voted to suspend rules. Again Introduced The amended ordinance was again introduced Thursday night and this time it was Councilmen Merton Kittle and V. G. Mullholand, both of whom had opposed the changes from the start, who led the opposition with the net result that it was changed again! before being approved.

Mr. Kittle took exception to change in the clause regulating the number of passengers which originally stated that a passenger could not be carried on the handlebars, frame or fender of a bicycle. When amended, both the frame and fender were omitted, making illegal to carry a passenger on the handlebars only. Kittle contended that it was just as dangerous for a passenger to ride on the frame or fender as the handlebars and, supported by Mr. Mullholand, won his point.

Wins His Point He also took exception in the change which struck out a inch specification for a rear reflector, pointing out that the way ordinance read, one as large athe pin head was within the letter of the law. He contended a reflector not less than 11 inches in diameter should be specified and also won this point, as well as one that a siren should be prohibited. As a result, City Solicitor Bernard J. Hawk made the changes in the amended ordinance while the discussion continued. Mr.

Connors stated that he presumed the ordinance had been gone over many times in the past two years and that, undoubtedly, some technicalities would be found in error. Adding that he had merely objected to the word "unlawful," which was stricken from all the sections changed, he reiterated earlier statements that he was only interested in protecting children and not insurance companies. Other than that, any changes were all right with him, he declared. Exception Taken Lynn Boyer took exception to the clause declaring it illegal for two bicyclists to ride abreast or to the left of one another unless when in the act of passing, stating that it would take a lot of pleasure away from children and that they should be allowed to ride side by side where streets permitted. Further discussion was cut short when Mr.

Connors moved suspension of rules and it was seconded by Julius Letterman and approved. Connors then moved final passage, was seconded by Mr. Kittle and passed unanimously by council. 'CHILD WELFARE' TOPIC FOR TALK Mrs. W.
