The dantrerntia atrinof road known as the Dimick hill at the railroad crossing in North Dallas, is to be altered so that the danger of accidents may be reduced to a minimum. County Judge Coad says that a crew of men is to be nut to work in a few davs carrvlncr out the lmrjrovement. me mound or earth at tne toD oi tne hill will be cut down so that the drivers of teams coming into town will be able to gain a full view of the grade on the hill before crossing the rail road and making the turn which brings them onto the grade Itself. Several collisions between auto mobiles have been only narrowly escaped during the past few years and a number of runaways have been barelv avoided in cases where a team nomine nn the hill has heen suddenly ana unexpectedly conironted oy an automobile swinging around -the curve and rushing down upon it. The accident last week when Mrs. T. V. B. Embree and Mrs. Walter Sellers were severely injured finally awakened the people to the necessity of taking immediate steps to avoid similar accidents which are liable to occur at any time so long as the road remains in its present condition. In addition to the removal of the mound which shuts off the view of drivers both comics ud and preparing to aa down the hill, the width of the road at that point will be increased so astoeive ample room for teams to pass each other or if need be to turn completely around on the grade with out dancer of beina unset. The com nletlnn of these imDrovements will render the road at that point quite safe and will remove once for an tne possibilities of serious or fatal acci dents that have always been associ ated with It heretofore.
