HATEVI% the effect of the near-side stop ordinance on the comfort and convenience of New Yorkers, it seems to be saving their Jives and limbs. The near-side stop rule for surface cars became effective Sept. 1. Wevidents reported by the Third Avenue Railway Company for the . the of September, October and November, 1914, show a decrease @f 945 as compared with the record for the same three months last During the three months in 1913 there were 1,092 vehicle col- and 214 knockdowns—a total of 1,306 accidents, For the ‘game period this year are recorded 885 vehicle collisions and 176 downs—total, 1,061. - The difference ia sufficiently marked to constitute strong evi- that the near-side stop is safe and wise, The public ia rapidly ing accustomed to it.
