The street railway company is fast
making 1t impossible for Its patrons to
enjoy the benefits of an accident and the
consequent pleasures of a suit for dam
ages. The safety gates have now been
tried long enough to DO no longer Az
experiment, and the verdict Of those di-
rectly interested is that they have
knocked off 40 per cent or more of the
accidents that used to happen monthly.
This means a big saving to the company,
and when it is considered that the per-
sonal damages mulcted form the COM
pany amounts annually to over $780, 0GO
or nearly $4,000 per month, such saw
ing more than justifes the continued
use OF the safety gates. A new precau
ton Is to be taken now in the introduc
ton of metropolitan tenders, The ex-
periments with these tenders have been
going on for the past TIRES weeks, and
while not much opportunity has been
afforded as yet for Judging them, it is
certain that they will lessen accidents to
a considerable degree.
