  1. Here are two findings from a 1910 book of City of Tucson ordinances:  
    –> On July 1, 1907, the City of Tucson enacted Ordinance No. 262 concerning the protection of horses, mules, bicycles, automobiles and rubber-tire vehicles.  “It is unlawful to deposit on any of the streets, avenues, or sidewalks of the City of Tucson, any bottles, glass or crockery ware, iron, tin, nails, tacks or any other thing whatsoever, which might or could cause injury to the feet of horses or mules, or which might or could cause injury to bicycles, automobiles or other rubber-tire vehicles.  The penalty is a fine not less than $20 nor more than $50, or by imprisonment in the city jail not less than 50 days, or by both.” 
    –> On July 3, 1893, the City of Tucson enacted Ordinance No. 82 concerning the regulation of bicycles.  “It shall be unlawful for any person to run any velocipede or bicycle on any street or alley within the City of Tucson without a bell attached thereto.  It shall be unlawful for any person to run any velocipede or bicycle across any street or street crossing within the limits of the City of Tucson without ringing the bell attached thereto, immediately upon reaching the said crossing.  The maximum speed allowed is six miles per hour.”
