SMITHS FORD AUTO
STRUCK AT CROSSING
Machine Hit, Skids Across
Street, When N. o. Ry. Engine
Hits 1t in Full-Side Swipe
Monday Noon.
WATCHMAN ON VACATION
CLAIM NO SIGNAL GIVEN

A N. O. Ry, engine run down and
nearly killed DR.. G. H. Smith at the
S. Court street crossing about 1:2O
p. m. Monday. The engine was back
ing across the street and hit the Ford
roadster in which the doctor was rid
ing, staving in the side of the ma
chine, throwing the occupant out and
across the thoroughfare, and badly
bruising him.
DR.. Smith was returning to his Of
flee near the Square after dinner
Approaching the N. O. tracks he
slowed down to make certain the way
was open. Hearing and seeing moth
ing he started to cross and when on
the tracks was given a warning
shouted to him by passing pedes-
strians. Receiving this warning he
gave the machine full power and got
across with badly shattered auto
and a painfully bruised side.
The watchman, maintained at this
crossing, was off for the day. Sew
eral who saw the accident say that
the engineer gave no warning with
bell or whistle, and the doctor him.
self says he listened for an alarm ano
heard none. The engineer was back
ing across the street to pick up cut
of cars east Of the street. The engi-
neer, after the accident, declared he
blew his whistle, but when questioned
closely admitted it was when he first
started back and was some little dis
tance from the crossing.
The engine struck the auto full
force on the left side, and as the
driver of a Ford car sits on the left
side DR.. Smith was right in line fol
bump. The tenders were crushed
and the tie of one wheel destroyed
The street was slippery so that when
the engine struck the car it slid anc
jumped, getting from under the
wheels, otherwise the doctor woulo
likely have been crushed to death. AS
it was he was thrown out of the cal
and across the street, alighting In
front of the Medina Coal Co.'s office
His left side was badly bruised but
it is not thought that any bones are
broken. DR.. Robinson was called anc
rendered first aid, bandaging Dr.
Smiths injuries. The latter was Sc.
verely bruised but does not anticipate
serious trouble. ... Z
The engineer offered the criticism
that Doctor Smith was driving slow
otherwise he might not have been hit
The doctor admits he was driving SLOW
and that he was trying to make Ger.
tain, when he could not see the reg.
ular watchman, that the crossing was
safe.

new ROAD PROGRAM
IN Medina COUNTY
CALLS FOR "a MILES
Approximately $675,OOO Will Be
Expended Next Year in an Eff
fort To Help Medina County
out of Mud.
OF THIS SUM OUTSIDE
AID AMOUNTS TO $14O,OOO

If You are shy at large figures and
it will cause you worry about where
the money is coming from, don't read
this article-about the 1920 road
building program for Medina county.
Medina county's road building pro-
gram for 1920 comprises a total of "a
miles to be constructed at an esti-
mated cost of $675, 1000. Of this huge
sum about $4,000 will be borne by
the state and federal government,
leaving approximately $535,OOO. to
come from within the county.
With the exception of about 2zs
miles, all preliminary surveys and
work have been completed by County
Engineer Bibbins, which means that
with the break in the weather, ope-
rations will commence at once. Even
should there be an early spring it will
not be possible to complete all the
work in 1920.
The new roads to be constructed
will all be concrete, this class Of road
being considered best, considering
present costs.
The roads to be built under next
years program are as follows:
One and one-half miles in Hinck-
ley township, running south to where
it will connect with the concrete.
Two miles in Liverpool township
from the center west to the county
line.
One mile in Litchfeld township,
from south of the depot to the south
township line. The grading on this
piece is already about two-thirds COM
pleted.
Another mile and a half in Litch-
field township, from the center west
to the township line.
One and one-quarter miles, rum
ming from Sharon Center south.
One and one-quarter miles in Har-
risville township, from the west
township line east.
Two and one-half miles from
Wadsworth to Bigelow Chapel.
Two miles from Seville south on
the Seville-C -Creston road.
Two and one-half miles from Sc
vile north to where the road con-
meets with the piece now improved.
Six miles of the Akron Medina
road. one half of which has been
graded and on which an equal
amount of bridge work has been done.
i Two and one-half miles along the
north Granger township line, running
west. This last named piece of road
was made possible this week when
orders for the survey were received
from the state highway department
at Columbus.
County commissioners within the
next week or two will take up the
matter of legislation with a view to
letting contracts on these various
roads named above, for with the ex-
ception of the Akron Medina road
and the road from Litchfeld south,
no contracts have as yet been let.
While it is not hoped to have all
the above named improvements COM
pleted next year, there should be
considerably more number of miles of
Medina county roads improved, which
will assist in keeping rledina county
people out of the mud next winter.
