Since snow went off we have had two ac-
cidents in this town resulting from defective
highways. both of which barely escaped
being serious. Since the accident to Rev. |.
McAnn at the Centre, we have looked for
guard-rail on that bridge from which he
was thrown; but unless it has been put up
quite lately there is nothing as yet to pre-
vent any vicious or frightened horse from
running off this bridge any day or night.
This place is exceedingly dangerous. With
the railroad upon one side and the river up
on the other, every precaution should be
taken to make the highway tolerably safe
for the road between this place and Lyndon
can never be quite safe, so long as the rail-
road runs in so close proximity, and has its
present blind crossings. With every pre-
caution BY selectmen, highway surveyors
and railroad engineers, somebody is bound
to get killed on this road. and we expected
such result long ago.....A little bridge on
the Danville road got out of repair last sum.
