Show A RIGHT THING A correspondent in a New York paper wants a law aw to compel chauffeurs to give bonds for damages that the they may commit That seems to us like a a. pretty good idea It is said that seven people are killed daily dally on an average in n New York City by automobiles and there is nothing nothing nothing noth noth- ing will make the average chauffeur careful so soon as to g give ve him to understand that if he ho by bj reckless driving ing kills some one or maims some one he or his bondsmen would have to pay for the damages so far faras faras faras as money could be made to pay for them One indignant correspondent says he was almost run rill over the other day and when he expostulated with the chauffeur for his reckless driving all an the comfort he got was to be roundly cursed for being b in inthe inthe the wa way Seven people a day daj looks like a good many to be be sacrificed but an any one who ever watched the automobiles automobiles automobiles auto auto- mobiles in the tho crowded New Tew York City narrow streets is more apt to wonder that anybody gets away than that only seven people are killed And s still ll an automobile is safer for the public than a wild horse because an automobile is a machine machine ma ma- chine which can be controlled whereas a no wild and panic stricken horse cannot be controlled |
