A question that is frequently asked
by people Of each other and also of
the Public Utilities officials is:
Are those awkward and queer look
ing tenders on the electric cars any
earthly good?"
The question was accordingly put
up to Assistant Clerk Roy F. Leach
on Wednesday at the Office of the COM
mission. He agreed as to the beauty
Of the article in mention, which Is
known as the Libby fender. but said
that they had undoubtedly earned
their right to be tolerated and re-
spected through the good they had al
ready done and to illustrate what he
meant called attention to two reports
Just received from railroad compa-
MES. All the companies in the State
are required to report monthly all ac-
cidents occurring on their lines. The
substance of the two mentioned fol-
lows:
The Waterville, Fairfield & Oakland
Railway reports that on Aug. at
Carey lane in Fairfield, open car No.
II en- route from Waterville to Fair
field with Motorman B. c. Rich and
SoIOucloT " euedu \ dI
ming along a level track about three
miles an hour. Alonzo LeF'lamme,
%-year old child, jumped onto the
track about five feet ahead Of the car.
The Libby fender attached to the
car hit the child and threw him
against the apron, with no injuries
whatever to the child"
The Portland Railroad Co. reports
that on July % in Westbrook, James
Sabatino, a child three years of age.
was crossing (crawling) the street in
front of the car and was picked up
by the fender. The child's hand was
injured and it's body slightly bruised.
There" said Mr.. Leach, Il think
that answers pretty we'll the question,
both yours and the many we are ask
ed. The fender is really not thing Of
beauty, but here are two cases where
human life, and the lives Of children
were saved by it. l guess we will feel
like putting up with its lack Of good
looks until something better Is found,
eh?" and we agreed.
