Tried To Branch Out
Travelers going east on the 5:15 electric car Tuesday were delayed one hour by a peculiar accident. Like some people, the car which was due to leave at that hour tried to spread out and cover more territory than its capacity warranted. At the William st. switch the forward trucks with the motorman started on the Main st.line for Ypsilanti while the rear trucks with the conductor started up William st. for the university. A house divided against itself cannot stand, (we have been told). An electric car can stand under those circumstances but it can't do anything else. In this instance the brakes were rendered useless and the car was compelled to wait for the next one which towed it to the shops at Ypsilanti.
