Automobile Accident

The third accident on the
streets of Chesterfield within a
month came near being serious
one. Mr.. l.. E. Raley and Mr..
Smith Oliver were in collision
and both escaped injuary by a
narrow margin.
The mules hitched to a wagon
of the Standard Oil Co., escaped
damaged by the quick exercise
of their mulish intelligence.
They sidestepped with alacrity.
The streets Of Chesterfield are
becoming too crowded with cars
for the further continuance of
haphazard methods of ira ffic con.
troll without serious risk of life
and property.
This fact is fully realized by
the new city council and they
propose to enact ordinaces gov.
erning traffic, especially on Mair
street, and to see that they are
obeyed.
