the company, and thSr Office is located
at S27 Fourteenth street northwest.
Overland cars are used exclusively.
Many of Washington's automobile acci-
dents. which, happily, are few, are due in
a large measure to the carelessness Of
the pedestrian. He steps from the curb
on a crowded thoroughfare just as
though he were still walking along the
sidewalk, without ever looking one way
or the other. The sound of an auto
mobile horn confuses him, and instead of
standing still. dances about, lodging first
one way and then the other, and not
giving the operator Of the car a chance
to turn in either direction. Drivers of
cars may perhaps be careless sometimes
but II the pedestrian would consider and
bear in mind that the street is for auto
mobiles and horses, while he himself has
the sidewalk on which to hold his con-
versation and look around to see what
is going on, without ever a thought Of
some one running into him, he would re-
duce the number of accidents to nil
The automobile owner is a tax payer and
has rights as well as any one else. The
street has been built for his use and he
feels that he should be given an equal
chance with his neighbor of using It.
