n George W. Savery recently met with an
accident at a slulce way in the road on Mill

u and one or both horses famed. The law
requiring that one thus damaged notify the
e proper town authorities within twenty days
after receiving such damage, If one would
% not be cut off from the legal right to recover,
o will be followed by Mr.. Slavery. Ignorance
of this provision OF law deprived resident
- of any recourse OF damages sustained at a
y sluice way a year ago, by his wife, who now
- has permanently crippled arm.
~ There is decided interest here just now
in the matter of liabilities for damages in
'O case of accidents attributable to piles OF
wood, lumber, ETC., within the limits OF the
| roads about town. Within wear there
y have been two serious accidents, attrib
utable to a greater or less degree, 1t is said
III to this cause. The questions arise to what
" extent the town and individuals who thus
use the roadsides, are responsible for acct
ra dents arising from these things and Just
r. what steps are to be taken for relief from
liability in case of injuries to others. Cor
rect answers to these queries are well worth
Oh getting by all concerned.
