Important Court Decision. Municipality Held Responsible for Condition of Roads, The Municipal World has the 'following comment upon a legal case which originated in this county : The case>of Davis vs. the Township -of Usborne, recently passed by. ' the Court of Appeal, is of great interest and instructive as to the trend of ju- dicial opinion with reference to the responsibility of municipalities with' ,reference to maintenance of public 'highways. • The advent of the motor vehicles 'has been looked upon with unfavor able eyes by many municipal officers uld the feeling seemed to prevail in many municipalities that so long as they provide a road suitable for trav- el by the means in> use prior to the the advent of motor vehicles' they Miert doing all that their duty cal- led upon them to do, and in fact in 'some localities they went further and by the construction of watersheds across and at right angles to the road and dumping gravel in hillocks and lumps without spreading made it impossible to travel on some of their highways ata speed of more than .one-half the statutory limit. In the case mentioned ,above the 'County Court Judge of the county of Huron held that the road upon which the accident happened was reasonab- ly safe for public travel by the means in use before the advent of motor ye- 'hicles and that the township, hav- ing provided such a road were under no obligation to improve it to make it reasonably safe against the added dangers occasioned by the use of mo- tor vehicles. The Court of Appeal; 'however, dissented from this view and held that the statutory duty lin-- posed upon the township r eyuired it to Make the road' reasonably safe for the purpose of travel and so safe 'from any additional danger incident oto the use of it by •motor •vehicles which have been in use for .several years and are now a common means of transportation, The matter under consideration in that case was of a horse taking 'fright at a motor vehicle, and over- turning the buggy of the plaintiff in a ditch alongside of the road and the Court of Appeal directed ludg- meat to .be entered against the town- ship on the grounds above set out, holding that if the ditch was neces- sary it should not have been in the shape of an open ditch but should 'have been tiled. It does not seem very the to go from this decision to `one holding he township liable for any damage sus- tained by the motorist or to the mo- tor itself while travelling on the road within the legal ' speed limit, by reason of holes or defects in the 'highway. C,' ERROW-ELLIOTT. South Parkdale Methodist churc'a, was the scene of a pretty but quiet wedding when Leona, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Elliott, for- mer residents of Clinton, was united in marriage to Wilfrid, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Gerrow, Port 'Perry, Ont., the Rev, Vernon Emory 'officiating. The bride, coming. in on her father's arm, looked charming in A French blue taffeta suit with trim- mings of black velvet and wore a • white fox and g picture hat of unrn- Ished leghorn trimmed with pond lit; tee and lovers' knots of velvet. She -carried a shower bouquet of sweet- heart roses and lily -at -the -valley. Af- ter partaking of a dainty luncheon 'at the bride's homethe happy cou- ple left on the 2 o'clock heat for Ni- agara Falls, Buffalo, and Detroit, Oil their return Mi. and Mrs. Gerrow will reside at' 88 Cowan Ave. Mrs. Ger- -row will be at home to friends after July 17th. -Toronto Star, Written While the Big Guns Were Playing. The following letter er was received bY :• Mss 'JeanieCowan rt of town from I her cousin, Sapper h C. Cowan, who went forward from Ottawa early an January with reinforcements with 'the 88th Engineering corps r, "Somewhere in Belgium, June 0th, 1916. Dear Jeanie -I am going to write you a leiter and let you distribute it among all my friends at Blyth. Things. may cool off here in 'a few days and then 1 can write them my - sell Y.oe ask me if 'I am net proud I am a Canadian ?' Well, I sere am and if you only saw what our fel lows are doing but here you would be .all the More proud that you are one also. I guess you will have the casuality list before this reaches you. My friends in Ontario have not for- gotten me. I have received the' Wells' .girls' parcel, Lucy's and yours with- itr the past few days and I must thank you all, also Mrs. Ball and' Mrs. Johnston. It is wonderful the way those parcels have cheered us up. .There are eight of us in an old cellar very close'. to the German lin- es keeping our bridges -in repair, As soon as a shell hits' one we have to get out and fix it. The fellows' all seem to thirds I have some friends and what belongs to one belongs to all out here. We will probably he relieved soon and will then have a night's rest. I have not had my cloth- es off for a week, ' I don't know whether I told you that I got an Ad- vance in pay of five cents per day about three weeks age. You may g;o grin at this but it helps a good, deal.I gettwentv francs every erY two weeks now instead of fifteen. The rest goes down in my little' book, A fellow does not need much money here, but occasionally when you get near a canteen you can buy a little canned fruit, etc. Old Fritz is not letting up much. He is trying hard for one of our bridges. I feel so well filled since those parcels came that he can starif away all he likes. I do not smoke much. Smoking and I never did seem to agree though I have often tried since coming out here. I occasionally smoke a' cigar- ette. .I gave the T tYe B to: another fellow and I see him lying on his bunk everlastingly making the smoke fly. Don't believe he'd care a'bit if a German shell should come through the roof. You asked about the cli- thate. Well we had a couple of weeks of fine, dry weather but now it is cold and damp. I have my big ov- ercoat on now and we cannot have a fire until dark or the . Germans 'would see the smoke. '.Chen men shall likely have a little fire in an old pail and make some tea. If it weren't for the tea I would rather put up with the cold than. the smoke of the fire, Now this letter is written un- do: shell fire, an experience quite common with us, Yours -I.. C. COW - an.
