LAW MAY BE TESTED. .Sheriff Durbln Says He Will Enforce the Collection After May 1st. ,. The bicycle tax law has not yet been tested In this county as to Its leg llty and no: opposition has thus far been manifested to the operation of the law. If there Is to be any formidable resistance shown the measure. It will, doubtless, materialize, nfter the 1st prox- when the tax becomes delin quent and the sheriff proceeds to en force the collections. Costa to the amount of $1 will be added and In de fault of the payment, the wheel will be tized and held until the amount of the tax Is advanced. - Very few bicyclists, however, oppose the bill. The average wheelman com prehends at once that the law was en acted wholly for his own benefit and knows that the money derived from the tax will be expended - in bettering the condition of existing paths nn in the construction of new ones. This literal i?w is taken by the majoilty of the wheelmen. Sheriff -VJurbtn said yesterday that he proposed to enforce the collection of the bicycle tax, beginning May J -t, when it racemes delinquent by reaon of the expiration of the sixty days al lotted by law for Its payment. He says If there Is any question as to the legality of the act, it should be tested, but until the real status of the law should be ascertained, he proposes to abide by the provisions therein Incor porated nd will enforce the collection of the tax. " beginning Monday morn ing. May 1st," said the the riff. I will seize every bicycle I see that Is not properly tagged. In order to make the enforcement of the tax general throughout the county, it Is the intention of Bhetiff Durbln next month to name In euch of the In terior towns deputy, collectors, who shall bo invested with the same pre rogatives in .he matter as the sheriff himself. ",'".-. Notwithstanding the trlk relative to the unconstitutionality of the blcytle tax law, the receipts from that source continue to pour into the sheriff's of fice.
