ment
There are several reasons for this, which were communicated to the "North-China_Daily News" yester- day by the Public Works Depart- ment of the S.M.C. The district around Avenue Haig is practically Soochow as far away from the Creek as any district under Settle- the administration, and water, therefore, obviously takes longer to drain off into the creek from here than it does from the heart of the city, which is within easter reach of the creek. Also, the roads which were still partly under water yesterday morning are not absolutely level, with the result
that water tends to collect more easily, and is more difficult to get rid of. A large new drainage pipe $108 was constructed In Wuting Road last year by the 8.M.C. but this seems to "have had little effect in increasing the drainage facilites.— (N.C.D.N.).

The Judge went on to state that in" view of the character of the collision the burden of the ex-
plaining rested on the defendant, who said simply that he did not coolle and see the wheelbarrow that he saw no light on the wheel parrow. The Court opined that this, showing was not sufcient.
"It is the duty of every motorist to keep a look-out to discover other versons using the street, and an automobile driver has no right to assume that the street is clear, but under all circumstances and at all
times must be vigilant and anticipate the presence of others." The Judge then cited a number of rases supporting this opinion.
In summing up the Court ruled, "In this case the thing to be deter mined is not whether the motorist saw the wheelbarrow but whether he should have seen it, and by ap- lying this test the Court Ends the defendant is table. Any mo- torist in Shanghai is bound to en- counter in Shanghai at all hours
