a DANGEROUS HEDGE.
The Intersection of Vulcan and Rippetoe
Streets Auspicious for Collision.
county's expense.

The Intersection of Vulcan and Rippetoe
Streets Auspicious for Collision.
The acute right angle formed
by the intersection of Vulcan and
Rippetoe streets is a menace to
teamsters by reason of a thick
hedge that fringes the north side
of Rippetoe street and extends
from Vulcan a distance of fifty
or sixty yards. In turning the
corner it is impossible for drivers
in opposite directions to see each
other in time to turn out. These
thoroughfares are scarcely wide
enough for safety at best, and
the hedge should be trimmed out
sufficiently to enable teamsters
to see when a collision at the
corner is about to be made.
Several collisions at this point
have been narrowly, almost
miraculously averted, and sooner
or later wagon load of people
will come to grief, unless this de-
feet in a public thoroughfare is
remedied. The city's liability in
matter of this kind is sufficiently
large to draw the attention of the
proper authorities to this death
trap to the end that it may be
remedied without unnecessary
delay.
