WILL ALTER DANGEROUS ROAD
County Will Make Changes on Dimick
Hill to Insure Safety to
Travelers.
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.
