LEVEL CROSSING FATALITY

COMMENT ON BAD VISIBILITY [Pee United Press Association.] INVERCARGILL, May 4. In finding a verdict of accidental death, with no blame attachable to anyone, regarding the level crossing fatality at Waikiwi, in which Henry G. Brass, a stock-buyer, was killed, the coroner (Mr E. C. Levvey, S.M.) remarked : “ This is another of a series of very regrettable accidents which have been happening at level crossings. The visibility from the road was undoubtedly bad. I think I, should draw the attention of local bodies to the section of the Public Works Act, which empowers such bodies to have obstructions removed, so as to provide a clear view of crossings.” NORTH-EAST HARBOUR NEWS [CoNTKIBXITED.] Postponed last December owing to sickness, the annual break-up concert of the North-east Harbour School was held in the hall on Wednesday evening before a large audience.
