POLICE TO WATCH SKATERS.

Park Board May Forbid Roller Pas-
time If Children Don't Behave.

There is an ordinance against roller skating on sidewalks and boulevards, and the park board is going to enforce it strictly wherein it relates to boulevards unless roller skaters demean themselves in a more orderly manner. Complaints are daily reaching the board of the disorderly habits of some roller skaters, and at yesterday's meeting the board was on the point of forbidding roller skating when a member made an appeal to give them one more chance.

"Notify the police," he pleaded, "to insist on decorum among roller skates and if they persist in their mischief and misconduct, I'll vote to forbid the pastime at the next meeting.
