Auto Victim Blames Self After Street Crossing Slip
A man identified as Chauncey Raymond of 57 Liberty Street was struck by a car and hospitalized with a broken rib. He told observers at the emergency room that he alone was responsible for not using the crosswalk. A separate fire near Park Row caused about $10,000 in damage to an eight story office building on Ann Street. The notice also includes a stock reduction certificate for The Horace Smith Estates, Incorporated dated May 22, 1916, from Bridgeport Connecticut, authorizing a capital reduction and stock dissipation among holders.
