The driver not being familiar with the town or the condition of the street kept in the center of the street as he should. That no one was killed is miraculous, but the machine was some what wrecked and the occuppants given an awful shaking up.

Local authorities could have prevented this but it was not done because this thing has been practiced so long we have become accustomed to it. Some action should be taken at once and visit ing contractors warned in time in this matter.
