thirty-three injuries Lave been
caused by automobiles in that
city, and that during TIE same

The statistics are interesting
rather than conclusive. because
they co not take into account the

of vehicles in use. But the fact
that the automobile, whether in
Paris or New York City, is less
dangerous to passers-by than is
