Hole In Road.
A hole about a foot wide has been
noticed in Kensington near the car
station west of the railroad bridge.
This hole is exceedingly dangerous to
pedestrians travelling at night, as it is
near the spot where the car stops and
persons are not likely to see 1t. The
'esult of a fall into the hole might be
, broken leg or other injuries. The
,oople who callend attention to the
lole recommended that lantern be
et near the place at night to warn pc
iestrians, or better still, that the
place be filed in. The hole was ap-
caused by the settling of the
ground over the water mains.
