GUARD RAILS NEEDED
ON NEW ECHO HIGHWAY

In letter to the county court L. T.
George. Echo merchant calls attention
to the need of guard rails and anger
signs on the new highway between
Pendleton and Echo. Mr.. Georges
letter is as follows:
County Judge,
Echo. March 20, 1921.
Pendleton, Ore.
My Dear SIR
Please pardon the liberty I assume
in addressing you thus but can't re-
sfst asking if our County Court of the
State Highway Commission is respon-
sible for the up-keep Of the highway
between Echo and Pendleton. The
reason / ask is the many discussions
which come to me from the various
people who travel it and who express
surprise that there are no guard rails
or danger signs anywhere along the
way and there must be at least twenty
places between here and Pendleton
that are exceedingly dangerous and
there is apt to be, with the motoring
season right on hand, a great many
accidents if the proper precautions
are not taken to avoid them. 1t does
seem to the writer that it's a matter
of grave Importance that should be
taken care Of at once, i'm order to
avoid a heavy damage suit that some-
body may be liable for. With proper
guard rails and danger signals along
the many dangerous curves and mar
row places might have quite ten
dency to eliminate accidents and
bring people TO the fun realization of
the situation and perhaps check up
some of the speed kings who are a
regular menace to the common travel.
/ trust that you viii accept this in the
spirit intended and not in any sense
OF criticism. but / do think it's a mat
ter for the proper authorities to give
immediate attention.
Yours very sincerely.
f. It. GEORGE.
