From Responsibility

The Connecticut Railway and
Lighting Company was yesterday
cleared by the Public Utilities Com
mission of responsibility for the
fatal bus truck crash on Waterbury
Cheshire Road in We CHI two per-
sons were killed and II school chill
dren injured on September Is.
The report submitted by Joseph
p. Wadhams, associate engineer,
states in part:
I'm my opinion, this unfortunate
accident was due to no faulty oper-
alton OF the company's equipment,
but was caused by the left front
tire Of the oil truck blowing out
due to being worn out, thus causing
the operator to lose control OF the
truck :" The report adds:
UNLESS better maintenance Ia
given to tires on trucks by their
owners. similar accidents may be
expected to occur -.
"As this accident, In my opinion,
was unavoidable on the part Of the
Connecticut Railway and Lighting
Company (owner OF the bus) I have
no suggestions to make"
Mr.. Wadhams attended hearings
in the official inquest conducted by
Coroner Miles F. McN!ff, Jr., so 1t
Is believed his report will lbe cor
federated by Coroner Months find
ing, which is expected to be re-
leased some time next week.
