A Hint to CommissionerB The bicycle commissioners ol this county might profitably ndopi a sys tem which i meeting w ith much up proval in other counties, viz: 1 sing a mat aluminum hand lor marking wheels which have been registered and on which the regular tax of one dollar has been paid. There is a disposition on the pari of some of the owners ot wheels to avoid this tax and by the adoption ol some such method as this a great deal of trou ble can lie obviated ami complica tions avoided. As soon as a rider pays bis tax he receives the hand, which will be bright and of a hand some design, and on which will be set forth the fact that the wheel i registered and the registry number will be stamped on the hand. All wheels that do not have thi hand attached will be likely to get their owners in trouble, because oi the fact that no tax has been paid on the same.
