Bicycles Hazard
“Wicked City”
Of the Far East
(By The Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28—
Reckless bicycle riding has been
added to the hazards of Singa
pore, socalled “Wicked City” of
the Far East, and that city is now
facing a serious traffic problem,
for the first time in its history.
That was the word brought back
here recently by an official of the
Dollar Steamship Lines after a
tour of Malaya. ,
Once, slow-moving rickshaws
constituted Singapore's main traf
fic problem. Today, speeding &
reckless driving of bicycles have
become so prevalent, and the ac
cident rate so high, that the gov
ernment requires all bicycles and
their riders to be licensed.
Repeated offenses bring revo
cation of the license, and riding
without a license, entails a jail
term.
Rickshaws have been subjected
to a licensing system for years,
much as taxicabs in America.
Their number is gradually being
reduced as transport in theOrient
Toecomes modernized. There are
now 6,000 rickshaws in Singa
pore, as compared with 20,000 a
few years ago. The abandon
ment of the rickshaw is being
carried out gradually to avoid
throwing large numbers of rick
shaw pullers out of work.

On World Series
—
The Nome Daily Nugget, to
satisfy reader interest in the
World Series baseball games, has
arranged to receive through the
Associated Press a summarized
account of each game, in lieu of
the play by play story, which
would have been entirely to cost
ly for the newspaper to bear
alone, at regular collect press
charges over the radio network
of the U. S. Signal Corps.
The first account appears to
day, and we hope that all sports
interested readers will appreciate j
the expense and effort necessary
to furnish this, individually.
Formerly it was handled in a
play by play account through the;
U. S. Signal Corps, but they in-'
formed interested parties it would
be too expensive for them to
handle at the former rate, and so
those bulletins were discontinued
for this year.
