limit provided for by ordinance, yet
this is not conclusive evidence of the
negligence of the defendant, but
should only be considered by you in
connection with the other facts in
this case"
Other facts appear in the opinion.
Plaintiff had judgment and defendant
appeals.
Mcbride, j.: The first error as
signed is the refusal of the court to
direct a non-suit at the close of
plaintiffs evidence. 1t is claimed
that the negligence of plaintiff in at
tempting to drive across the track in
front of the car was so clearly
demonstrated by his own testimony
as to preclude a recovery. His
testimony, which is corroborated,
tends to show that two persons
were near the track in the posi-
ton usually taken by persons
desiring to board a car, and one of
them testifies that he was there with
the intention of boarding this very
car. The refusal to grant the nom
suit was not error. 1t was for the
jury to say whether, under these cir
cumstances, it was negligence on the
part of plaintiff to assume that the
defendants servants would perform
their duty to the public by stopping
to take on these passengers and, act
ing upon that assumption, to con-
tue his way across the track. 1t is
evident that if the car had stopped
for the purpose indicated, plaintiff
would have crossed in safety.
The court erred in giving the in
struction first quoted 1t suggests
the doctrine of comparative negli-
gence which is not the law in this
state.
The second instruction is also
faulty in the same respect. 1t at
tempts to apportion the relative neg
ligence of the parties. The words
"if such failure materially contrib
utes to the resulting collision" are
misleading and not a correct state
ment of the law: Hurst v. Burnside,

MIGHT HAVE A CITY LIGHT PLANT.

few years ago the city offered the North Mill creek
water power, buildings, and all for $45,0OO.
The wiseacre and opponents of doing anything at all in the
of the city opposed it, and defeated it.
That sevenhundred horse power has been lying idle and going
to waste since when in ten years it would almost pay off
the city debt. HMlHiWF MAEMaEMEsW sWT %@#E

and defeated the purchase of 81 for $00 and since
then the property has advanced threefold.
The beautiful up there that elevation whisper to
heaven with breeze that blows what terrible mistake
made in defeating that chance to get park.
Now talking of cluster lights and they will cost at the
rate of about 5000 per horse power hem when the city
might have lighting for onefourth of that
What beautiful city might have if we had that lighting
plant and the cluster lights principal streets but
too slow and have not the civic spirit do things

The other instructions quoted pro-
ceed upon. the same theory that plain
tiff could have been guilty of some
degree of negligenc, contributing to
his injury, and yet recover. There
is nothing in the pleadings nor in the
proof to justify this position.
In order to invoke the last clear
chance doctrine" plaintiff must
plead and prove that defendant after
perceiving the danger, and in time
to avoid it, negligently failed to do
so: Drown v. Northern Ohio Trac-
tion Co., 76 Ohio st. 2S4; 81 N E.
327.
The evidence in this case shows
that the plaintiff, probably assuming
that the car would stop at the cross
ing in the customary way to take on
the two intending passengers, drove
suddenly upo nthe track, and that
whatever may have been defendant s
negligence in regard to excessive
speed prior to that moment, there
was not time to stop the car after
his danger had been perceived,
The instruction requested by de-
fendant, above quoted, should have
been given.
In Peterson v. Standard Oil Co.,
(Or) 106 Pac. 337, we held that the
violation of state statute prescrib-
ing a certain degree of care for the
protection of the public was negli-
gence per Sc, but we there intimated
that such construction should not
be placed upon the mere bylaws of
municipal corporation. The viola
ton of such ordinances is mere evil
dence of negligence and such for a
long period has been the holding in
