FOR GOOD WHEELING.
Committee Appointed to Draft a Suitable Ordinance.
City and County Attorney Creswell, as chairman of the wheelmen whose object is to promote good wheeling in this City, has appointed the following committee to frame ordinances for the regulation of wheelmen in this County to be submitted to the Board of Supervisors:
L. R. Ellert, manager California Title and Insurance Company, Mills building, unattached wheelmen: F. H. Kerrigan, Justice of the Peace, new City Hall, Bay City Wheelmen; Charles A. Adams, attorney-at-law, 137 Phelan building, Olympic Club Wheelmen and Camera Club Cyclists: Joseph F. Coffey, attorney-at-law, Supreme Court building, Olympic Cyclers, and Harry F. Wynne, [Henry F. Wynne] druggist, northeast corner Folsom and Twenty-second streets, California Cycling Club. On recommendation Chairman Creswell himself was added to this committee.
The six gentlemen will try to frame ordinances that will not only satisfy wheelmen but will protect pedestrians and drivers in every particular. They fully realize that the walking and driving public want their rights on the highway preserved and protected as well as the wheelmen. Ex-Mayor Ellert has been made chairman of the committee. He will call a meeting at an early date.
City and County Attorney Harry T. Creswell of the Olympic "Cyclers, who acted as Chairman of the wheelmen's meeting on Monday evening, which framed an ordinance to be presented to the Supervisors for their acceptance, has appointed the committee which is to wait upon the Supervisors.
It is composed of L. R. Ellert, Manager California Title and Insurance Company, who is an unattached wheelman; F. H. Kerrigan, Justice of the Peace, Bay City Wheelmen; Charles Albert Adams, Attorney, Olympic Club Wheelmen and Camera Club Cyclists; Joseph F. Coffee, Attorney, Olympic Cyclers, and Henry F. Wynne, a druggist, member of the California Cycling Club.
WILL CARRY WHEELS FREE. - Wheelmen Selected to Present to the Supervisors the Ordinance Framed by the Clubs - The San Francisco Examiner, 24 Oct 1895
"Any white person of good character, over the age of 18 years," is the constitutional description of eligibility. J. F. Coffey tried hard to have the word "male" inserted, saying that he objected to ladies in a bicycling organization. The fair members, however, had numerous champions to fight their cause and Coffey's suggested amendment was defeated.
