The Jury found that the automobile

ously high rate of speed and that this
rate Oi speed was made necessary by

distance of four miles at only thirty
minutes.
While we cannot eXonerate the

dict, I'VE are OF the opinion that the
collision was mainly duo to The mania
for high and dangerous speed, which,
in our opinion, prevailed and is found
in the operation of al surface lines

I'VE find from the records In the
coroner's office, that siXty-seyen lives
have been lost through street car ac-
