OBJECTS TO RAILS ON
NEW MADISON BRIDGE
E. 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. V"
The commissioners will look into the
question before- accepting the bridge.
The tracks as laid, have the approval
of the city and the objections made by
Wemme are said by some to be mistaken.
