down in the creek.
William Taylor drove to Clin-
ton for a medical examination.
He suffered only bruises, minor
cuts and scratches.
Arrangements were made
with Harry Adams, Goderich,
to lift the shattered grader out
of the creek with his crane.
The operation was completed
about six o'clock that evening,
and left blocking the road un-
til. Sunday morning when it
was removed to Goderich for
repair.
Provincial Police from the
Goderich detachment investi-
gated the accident and control-
led traffic.
Many persons visited the
scene during the day, At one
time there were about 100 on-
lookers during the hoisting
operation.
As long as the road was
blocked, the Provincial Police
handled the traffic and also
escorted Adams taking the
wreck to Goderich,
Harvey Coleman, reeve of
Stanley Township, stated that
the machine had been in opera-
tion for a month, first in road
grading, and a few days. snow-
plowing. It had run 139 hours
altogether. It was fully cover-
ed by insurance. He expected
that it would be a month be-
fore repairs were completed,
and at thepresent no steps-
had been taken to supplement
the other township plow, "We'll
see what the weather is like
first," lie said.
An estimate of the damage
was not made, he explained, as
this would be impossible before
the wrecked machine was strip-
ped down.
Asked what he thought it
might amount to, Reeve Cole-
man replied, "I'd guess about
$10,000, but remember that is.
only my guess." William Tay-
lor, road superintendent, con-
curred with the reeve's esti-
mate.
