Cortland is going to do her share this year toward building a bicycle path that will extend from Syracuse to Binghamton, and about the first work that the commissioners will do after repairing will be to extend the Little York path on through to the Onondaga county line. Then a wheel-way will be built along Groton-ave. to the brick schoolhouse, thence southward to Gillet's grove, and from that point back to the South Cortland path, making a delightful runway of about five miles.

In order to make the needed repairs and to extend the paths which were so well started and finely kept last season, money must be forthcoming at once. To this end every wheel owner ought to possess a badge. Cyclist, you will soon be ready to take a trip to one of the many pleasant summer resorts about Cortland.

At this time be properly equipped with a 1900 wheel license that now costs you but 50 cents and gives you path privileges for the whole season, not only here but also in any county of the state in which you happen to be riding. The sidepath laws will be strictly enforced this season, and already special police have been appointed and are out on the paths to look after this part of the work. The sidepaths and the manner in which they are kept are of interest to every owner of a wheel.

How many miles of new road are built in Cortland county this year and how well they are maintained depend entirely upon the individual cyclist. Buy a badge, that's all; the commission will do the rest. Died of Scarlet Fever.

Mrs. Cushman C. Lord died at her home, 11 Evergreen-st., at 10 o'clock last night of scarlet fever, aged 44 years. The burial will be held at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
