The body of DR.. Mitchell o. Devaney,
1910 Broadway, was found in his wrecked
car at the foot of this Fall creek en-
bankment on Sutherland avenue, Jan. 1
1920.
Driving at night, in q snow storm, he
failed to make the turn and went OF
the sheer drop of approximately fifty
feet, on the edge of which the car In
the picture is standing.
There was considerable censure OF the
officials at that time for failure to guard
this dangerous turn in the road and 8
delegation was to call on the board OF
works and demand that some steps be
taken to prevent a recurrence Of the acct
dent.
In the months that have passed the
accident that cost life has been almost
forgotten by the general public.
And the dangers OF the place have
been wholly forgotten by the authorities.
There is neither a warning sign nor
a guard rail at the place today. Another
fatal accident is just as likely to occur
there tomorrow as 1t was when DR.
Devaney plunged to his death.
