Auto Backed Into One Of the New Light Posts.

Tom Stine, son of Barney Stine, south of town, backed his auto against the curbing on Van Rensselaer street Saturday and the top of the machine, which was down, struck one of the boulevard light posts and broke the globe and the inner light bulb. These two parts of the light cost $9. Young Stine was very fair and promised to pay the amount of damage he had caused. The accident was one that is very apt to occur whenever an auto with the top down is backed against the curb in line with one of these light posts which are right at the sidewalk edge and every person should be careful and back their cars to miss the posts.
