GET OFF A CAR AS You PLEASE -
The Court of Appeals, of Washington,
on Friday, decided that woman can
yet of street Car any Way she pleases
backwards, sideways, with her hand
on the handles or with both hands hold
ing up her skirts. If the car starts anu
she IS Injured she can recover damages.
The case decided was that Of Mrs.
Julia Rouser, who was thrown from
step while carrying her baby. Justice
S1epard'5 opinion says:
when the car had been stopped the
passenger had the right to persume that
it would not start while she was in the
act of stepping of. Consequently,
while it would be prudent to provide
against possible negligence OF the car
rier by graspiDg the handle bar and
getting off with face 10 the front, We
cannot say that she is under any legai
obligation to do so. We think tnat sne
has the right to step of with or With
out grasping the bar, and facing IN any
direction that she chooses, and that
the defendant, whose car has been
started in breach OF its duty, is in no
condition to complain that the passen-
ger awk wardly and carelessly availed
herself OF her privilege to alight IN her
own way from car that was motion
less, and was bound to remain so until
she had safely left it. Any other rule
would work Injustice to passengers and
he opposed to the established public
policy, which, in the interes OF the
safety of life and limb, demands yer!
high degree of care on the part Of car
riers in she matter of receiving, carry
ing and dischargiug passengers
