Auto Cver Embankment
What might have been a serious accid-
ent happened on Saturday night on the
new pavement near the McKenzie bridge.
Mr. Roy Adair's auto frightened a horse
and Mr. Adair put on his brakes and went
to catch the animal, when his car slid back
and went over the steep embankment or,
the west side of the road. Fortunately a
clump of small trees held the auto before
it reached the river, The remainder of
the night was spent in bringing the auto
back to terra firma.
This is a very dangerous spot and the
council should lose no time in having a
strong fence erected to protect the public.
