To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the most conspicuous feature of the curve is the sudden increase in street-railway accidents that has taken place at two periods. In 1894 the number of accidents jumped up and stayed up. Then in 1902 a similar jump occurred. This characteristic stands out plainly in Plate II. , which shows the accident rate for street railways in Massachusetts for each year since the horse-car period. In this plate both the accident rate per mile and the accident rate per pas- senger are shown. Whether we c...onsider the accidents on the basis of the number of miles of track, or on the basis of the number of passengers carried, the characteristic feature is the same. There have been two jumps in the accident rate. And these two jumps coincide with the two general efforts which have been made for high speed on street railways. Is it neces- sary to show more plainly the utter recklessness of allowing another effort for increased speed on street railways, whether wholly upon the streets, or partly upon the streets?
