Ten years ago one used to hear
quite often Of people being struck
by horses as they were crossing the
street. said F. l. Menard- Vow.
however, one rarely hears Of an ac-
cident where horsedrawn vehicles
run over people. I think this is due
TO the fact that we have become used
70 the much greater speed at which
automobiles travel and therefore are
able TO keep out Of the way Of the
horsedraWn vehicles. Now the uedes-
trian is far more alert to his SAFETY
than before motor vehicles came
INTO general use. One thing, how
ever which I think should be done
IS TO decrease still more the speed
az which motor vehicles are allowed
to travel in the city 7 believe that
Iour-lltths Of the accidents in FL
Paso would be prevented were the
speed Of the cars here less. Then, too,
think our courts should be far less
lenient In accident cases than they
are at present"
