Henry "Wcmmegood roads enthu siast and director- of the Good ' Roads fesnociation, has' sent a . letter ito the county commissioners complaining as ta the kind of rails laid on the new Maw thorne bridge. He . asserts titer la danger from the gutters next the rails and thinks the county should refuse to accept the bridge, until the rails are changed. . In, his communication ht says: ' . . : ': . ."The old fashioned rails have been UBBd, and if a buggy or light rig hap. pens to have the misfortune to get Into the gutters next the rails they will wrench Off their wheels. If autos hap pen to drop in they will hare difficulty in getting out, and by using undue force to get out accidents are sure to hap pen.
