AS protection to human life and
property we desire to mention the
dangerous ford. known as the Robin
son Crossing on Minister'S Run, near
where this run Intersects Pawpaw
creek. This crossing is beyond local
control as the parties who purchased
this section Of road have tried hard
TO relieve the situation but to no avail
and we think 1t hight time that the
County Court take the matter In
charge. 1t is a miracle that no one
has been seriously injured or killed
at this place as large rock project on
either side Of the stream at an angle
of about As degrees making It impos-
sible to cross at any time in safety.
If our road supervisor would make a
proper report of this matter to our
honorable County Court We believe
that something would be done at once
to relieve the situation.
With success to the West Vlrginian
we remain,
HAPPY HOURS.
