past trolley cars discharging or re-
ceiying passengers. In well regulated
communities This is forbidden and
ought to be here, 1t is one of the most
frequent causes of accident and child
rem and old people are particularly ex-
posed Many automobile drivers recog-
nize this fact and always pause before
passing a still trolley car but others
are careless or have never had the mat
ter called to their attention. With an

bennington and rather narrow BUSH

strict precautions be observed.
