The Massachusetts, supreme Court has Jus.
bile owners a great deal OF trouble unless IL
can be reversed by q higher court. The case
was that Of an automobiles who sued the town
OK Aver for damages sustained when his oar
sank into soft place In a road and was dam
aged considerably In consequence. The auto
mobilist sued the town In Ghe Superior Court
and won his case. The town offiolals took the
case case 70 the S state % Supreme Court. which ruled
the highways we're kept safe for Ordinary
traffiC. The court also decided that III one
who is operating an automobile has not taken
out a license he cannot hold . town or city
liable for damages, even II the highway q
defective for general travel. When the case
was tried first In the Superior Court the Judge
presiding charged the Jury that the automo-
bile was a carriage within the meaning Of
the statute and that IL was the duty OF the ds-
fendant town TO keep It's roads reasonably
safe and convenient for automobile so that
they might be protected The Judges OF ma
supreme Court held that the charge was too
broad.
Many times when q car is miles from the
nearest repair shop driver will be annoyed
