comprise a gang that went to the
pond to gather ice for filling the
many ice houses for use in sum-

to drag the huge blocks of ice to

the storage room filled up to the

ing 1858 than there were during

piled by Harry P. Jones, Director
of the Financial Responsibility Di-
vision of the Motor Vehicle De-
partment, 1t was also disclosed
that the total amount of damages
caused by these accidents was
S237 ,257.00 more in 1858 than in
1852. According to the report
there were total of 6,168 acci-
dents involving damages in excess
