BICYCLE PATH
[Welland Tribune, 15 July 1898]
The bicycle path is being rushed along as rapidly as possible and the workmen are now on the Page road. The work is being expedited by the use of a road scraper and plow. A mile of the path from town has been completed as far as can be until a good heavy rain, when it can, then be smoothed down. The men will be out to the Quaker road by Saturday night. The piece to the end of the sawdust road will be cindered this summer and probably all the rest will be gravelled this fall. The committee are receiving very generous offers of help from residents of the country. The other day one farmer who lives nearby three miles from the route offered to help draw gravel as soon as the necessary work on the farm is done, and yesterday another man who lives a short distance from the path handed in a dollar, saying it would be a great convenience to him. The committee will be glad to receive all the help they can get, and hope in this way to have most of the gravel drawn free, as to pay for hauling it would be out of the question this year. There will be a meeting of the club in the town hall this evening to talk over important matters in connection with the work.
