To be sure there is nothing new about women in

piers extending directly the creek from Morris

community. narrow temporary wooden structure

holding off building adequate crossing in the
hope that rght-of-way would be obtained to realize
the improvement announced. During that time
it has been the scene of countless wrecks and it is
only good fortunate that no one has been killed as
