William N. Flynt, carrier on No.
route, rural free delivery, was some.
what delayed Wednesday morning
while making the trip as usual in his
automobile. While climbing the steer
hill on this route the chain broke,
and the machine sped backward down
the hill. Mr.. Flynt jumped and es-
capped injury. The machine struck a
post at the bottom of the hill and
turned over, spilling the contents.
Repairs were soon made and the de.
livery continued.
There will probably be arrests for
violations of the state law in regard
to bicycle riding. Very few riders
in Monson pretend to have their ma
chimes equipped with bells and Ian
terms, and riding upon the sidewalks
has become the subject of frequent
complaints to the selectmen. More
complaints are made of riding on the
walks on Oushman, Pearl and State
streets than any others. 1t is posi-
BILE that some riders do not know thai
the gravel walks on some of the
streets may not be ridden upon, but
such is the fact. Any walk which
the selectmen have taken for the town
and covered with gravel or other sub
stance, or in any way fitted for the
use Of pedestrians, is a sidewalk
within the meaning of the law. The
selectmen know of no other way to
prevent these continual violations
necessary few years ago.
