A Dangerous Road
(To trio Editor)
Sir,—ls it not high tiara that tho Council should seriously consider the claims that may arise from accidents due to the inefficient ani faulty con-1 structiou of the ouibaukmout iv the Fourth .\venue? Yesterday, -owing to tho recent heavy rain, a slip occum-d which carried away a iirgo portion >l tho roadway rendering it quite uutu for cart or motor traffic, but no notice had been put up t\> warn drivers 'hat iberofd was iias-ifo, L itn in tho evening a irotor car with four passengers drove through the upper cutting and had nearly reached the dangerous quarter before the slip was ob&ervod mil the car stopped. Had the-car gone a few yards further it 13 almost a certainty that it would have gcuo. over the embankment, with ,J.he lesulr of sorious inju y, if not. loss of l.t'e, to some of thii occupauts. Then the question would arise, who was to pay the pipers'?—l am, etc , II J BLYTiI. Tiiuvangn, Fob IS, 1918.
