they would willingly follow me into

| The Maine Public Utilities Commits.
sion has handed down q decision IN
the matter of the accident on the
Maine Central at Enfiald on Sent. "a
1916, when regular freight No. ISL
struck an automobile at a grade cross
ing. the automobile being demolished
and Charles Randall and daughter
Doris of Milo and Mrs. Abram Dough-
erty of Medford Center being killed and
Mrs. Randall and Mr.. Dougherty being
badly injured. A public hearing was
held Oct. at Enfield. The decision
says in part:
THE crossing itself is not Of the alb
solutely blind type. There is no en-
bankment or depression at or near the
crossing. the grade of the highway on
both sides being in no place below the
level of the line between the highway
and the railroad. In other words, a
person approaching the crossing along
the road travelled by the occupants
,o1 THIS particular automobile could see
a train when the automobile was 500
or ooo rect away from the crossing
ana When the train was one-half mile
away from the same. The view Of the
traveller of such train was not in any
way obstructed until he would be
about 1875 feet away from such cross
ing at which point a building on the
west would obstruct the view for 40
or SO feet. The crossing was SO locat-
ed that a person approaching the same
could readily see during 500 or 600
feet that he was approaching a grade
crossing"
The decision reviews the fact that
two persons saw and spoke to occu-
pants Of the auto, another heard the
regular and danger whistles and says:
1--WE do not find anything in the
testimony or surrounding circum-
stances which would tend to cause US
to believe that the driver or occupants
Of the automobile ought to have been
deceived or confused or which would
cause them or any of them to fail to
observe the approach Of the train. Nor
do we find anything to indicate negli-
gence on the part Of the railroad COM
pany. 1t appears to have been one Of
those unfortunate occurrences where
the occupants Of the automobile paid
no sufficient attention to the approach
OF the train and where the death and
injury resulted solely from the care
lessness Of the driver and of the oc-
cupants or the carelessness of the
driver alone"
