Tucker, chief coroner for | this part of the North, emphasized the lrespcnsibility falling upon all car ‘drlvers. He compared the responsibility ¢f the car drivers to that of the sea captain, but pointed out that unforâ€" tunately for the public at large car drivers did not take their responsibiliâ€" ties as seriously as those who are in command of even a small vessel at sea. Reference to the matter is made in the following despatch from Cochrane:â€" Cochrane, July 12thâ€"Aithough Cecil Russell, injured in a car smash at Kaâ€" puskasing, June 18, had sufficiently reâ€" covered to be questioned in hospital, he ‘was unable to assist in the coroaner‘s Jjury to any extent in their investigaâ€" 'tion of the accident in which Stanley Towers, North Bay, met his death. Russell‘s memory was so affected that he could not recall clearly the events leading to the accident. The jury, however, considered they had sufficient evidence to place the wilful negligence of Kitchenesr Davidâ€" son, also of North Bay, as the cause of the accident, and concurred in the recommendation cof Chief Coroner E. R. Tucker that a speed limit should be placed on the 13â€"fcot wide highway bridge where the accident occurred. The chief coroner aAalso drew a parallel of their responsibilities with these of a sea captain. He outlined the care with which a captain must ;navigate his ship and the penalties accruing for mishandling of his charge, lbringing out that an automobile driver the Town of Kapusks wilful negligence of son, the driver of 1 driving on a learner‘ accompanied by licensed operator. W recommendation that parallel of their responsibililles with these of a sea captain. He outlined the care with which a captain must navigate his ship and the penalties accruing for mishandling of his charge, bringing out that an automobile driver in certain respects, was like a sea capâ€" tain, having responsibility for the proâ€" perty and lives of others. The text of the jury‘s finding was as follows: "We find that Stanley Towers came to his death at 11.25 pm. on June 18, 1937, on .the highway bridge in the Town of Kapuskasing from shock due to internal injuries received by motor vehicle in which he was riding colliding with the railing of the western end of the highway bridge over the Kapusâ€" kasing river at the western limits of the Town of Kapuskasing, through the wilful negligence of Kitchener Davidâ€" son, the driver of the car who was driving on a learner‘s permit and was n"+ arenmmanied hy a chauffeur or a accompanied by a Cchauileur O1 licensed operator.
