and even the best adjusted brakes
when applied may or may not work
just as the driver expects.
"A suggestion, and one which is
applicable at all seasons of the year,
is never to pass an intersccting street
without slowing down. An act passed
by the last LEGISLATURE says that all
vehicles shall have the right of way
over vehicles approaching at inter-

those approaching from the right.

drive through streets where children
are playing without slowing down.
Parents and teachers should keep
children out of the streets as much
as possible and should constantly try
to instill into their young minds the
danger of suddenly running out
without first looking up and down
the street. Commissioner Lyman II.
Nelson truthfully and forcefully en-
phasized this fact at a hearing be-
fore the Highway Commission when
he said. IN the street is not the
right place for children to play, but
want to say to you that l think it is
absolutely incumbent upon the driver
of an automobile to take the utmost
precaution when child is near Il
machine. And L have no patience
with those who are running over
children riding bicycles. y child has
Il ch;ldS mind and it works differ
entity from an adults mind and it is
incumbent upon those operating
automobiles to use the utmost care
when child is anywhere near
machine"
'No one has a riSht to operate a
car unless it is properly equipped
with lights and this also applies to
teams. Everyone should see to it
that his lights are on from one-half
: hour after sunset to one-half hour
before sunrise.
mo one has a right to drive over
crossings or by eletcric cars where
pedestrians are walking or getting on
and off cars without slowing down.
NO one has right to take a drink

Il think in keeping in mind some
of these simple and at the same
time important suggestions, many
accidents might be avoided"

p. u. Decision in
WaldObOrO Water
Company Rate Case

The Public Utilities commission in
a decision rendered Tuesday in the
case of the Waldoboro Water Co. in
case against itself, in rela ton to
rates, declares that in giving the
Paragon Button Corporation free
water service. the Waldoboro Water
Co. is giving an unreasonable prefer
cnce or advantage. The commission
in its decision sets aside the contract
that the water company has with the
button corporation and says that the
button corporation must pay rates
for its water. This decision is a most
unusual one. and 1t is said that it
may so to the law court for final
settlement.
1--WE feel that the deed of the town
to the water company providing for
the supplying of water imports
something more than the claim of
the button company in its brief. that,
The Paragon Button Corporation is
using its own reservoir and pipes and
drawing water therefrom, says the
decision of the commission.
Such supplying of water entails eX-
pense on the part of the water COM
pany and such expense must be borne
by the other customers of the COM
pany if the button corporation is to
be exempt from any charge.
"By our course of reasoning and
our appraisal of the deeds. we are
led to the conclusion that the button
factory has no rights superior to
those of the parties in the Guiliord
and ScarspOrt cases.
I'VE may state chat no deed to the
