Hardly day passes that vehicles are not
run into, or some car will jump the track
and knock down a stone wall or some
thing else. Only yesterday Contractor
Boetler came near being killed by being

the car will be seen flying at the rate OF
about 20 miles an hour, and only one man
in charge of the same. Cannot these cars
