A WELCOME SOUND NOT
HEARD FOR SOME TIME—
THE MOST RECENT CITY
ORDINANCE BADLY NEEDED—
THE CITY council at their last meeting
passed an ordinance which can easily prove
of great value to children of the city in that
it regulates the use of bicycles, thereby pro­
viding a means of regulation and protection.
Bicycle riders seldom take necessary pre­
cautions for their own safety, especially when
riding at night. The first section of the regula­
tion takes into consideration that particular
danger of afternight riding. Few bicycles have
lights in any degree suitable to illuminate
them so that motorists may be made aware
of their presence. According to the ordinance,
bicycles must carry a forward light visible at
a distance of at least 300 feet in normal
weather conditions and a rear light or reflect­
or visible at a distance of at least 200 feet.
With such lights the bicycle rider may
be assured of a less degree of danger to him­
self and the car driver will enjoy a greater
feeling of ease from the thought that he may
accidentally strike a bicycle that he could not
see at night until it was too late to avoid an
accident.
Another feature of the ordinance that
cannot go amiss, if enforced strictly to the
letter, is that prohibiting riding on sidewalks
in the business district. Accidents to pedes­
trains have resulted in death from such ac­
tions. Such cases are rare but possible and
many injuries do come as the result af the
use of sidewalks for bicycle paths. That sec­
tion of the ordinance certainly cannot but be
worthwhile.
A third feature of the ordinance that
warrants comment is the regulation placing
__ ,__ ____________
bicycle
riders in the same classification as
operators of other vehicles and requiring
those riders to be subject to provisions of
laws of the State of Oregon dealing with that
subject. This feature makes it imperative to
observe traffic laws and thereby adds another
measure of safety.
It is also commendable to note that the
Safety Club of the Washington grade school
has been studying bicycle regulations enforced
by the city of Eugene. Education of children
to the danger which may arise from careless­
ness will bring better observance of the rules
of the ordinance and provide an understand­
ing of the regulations that would not be gain­
ed otherwise.

THE BEGINNING of work at the Oregon
American mill last Wednesday again brought
sounds of an activity that have been missed
since the shut down which began September
25th. The beginning of work will bring joy
to many families which have been without
income since that time and will make possible
a far more joyous Christmas than otherwise
would have been possible should the shut down
have continued longer.
The end of difficulties came through the
proposal to arbitrate the disagreement, the
proposal of settlement being submitted by
IWA local No. 37 and requiring an arbitra­
tion board to bring about a final decision.
Regardless of that decision, whatever it may
be, men whose livlihood depended upon work
in the mill and at the logging camp are again
gainfully employed and will be able to pro­
vide needed funds for their families.
What the decision of the arbitration board
may be remains to be learned at the end of
the 15-days time set aside for that purpose.
It is to be hoped that the findings and recom­
mendations of that group may be satisfactory
to both sides involved and that no future
difficulties may arise which will result in a
shutdown such as the one just experienced.
Should a difficulty arise it is to be hoped that
a board of arbitration may be called upon
immediately to give ultimate decision.
A DECISION TO BE
GIVEN IN 120 DAYS—
A SIZEABLE crowd representing practic­
ally every portion of the proposed people’s
utility district was present at the public hear­
ing of the Oregon Hydroelectric Commission
last Saturday to learn as much concerning the
proposal as possible. The commission’s pur­
pose here was not one of explanation of the
district but to hear arguments both for and
against the proposal, that data to be used by
the commission in rendering a decision as to
feasibility of the district’s formation.
As was stated at that time the decision
will be given in 120 days. Then will be learn­
ed the results of the commission’s investiga­
tion. The commission is composed of members
capable of making a thorough study of con­
ditions prevailing here and whether those con­
ditions warrant a district to purchase Bonne­
ville electricity.
A number of arguments were presented
on both sides of the question with varying
opinions being expressed. However, as stated
before, feasibility of such a district will be
learned when the commission has made public
its opinion.
