$4,000 Damage
Suit Filed Here

Suit for $76,804 against the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. was
filed Monday by Pauline Green,
administrative of the estate of
Harry Green, deceased, LeXing-
ton, KY.
Action is filed by the plaintiff
as result of passenger train
truck accident, Aug. 29,l946 on
the Pennsylvania crossing on
jefferson Ave, Plain City, in
which Harry Green, 20, and his
father, Oscar Johnson Green, Sc,
were killed.
Plaintiff claims in her petition
that the accident was due to three
principal reasons, alleged as fol-
lows:
l. DEPENDENTS agents were
guilty of negligence in the opera
ton of the defendants locomotive
and train at the time of the
collision, at a speed of 80 miles
per hour.
2. Defendants agents were
guilty of negligence by not giving
any signal whatsoever from the
whistle or bell of the locomotive.
3. Defendants agents h d
restricted the vision approaching
the crossing from the east by hav-
ing an elevator Immediately ad-
jacent to the crossing and freight
cars on a siding.
At the time of the accident, the
deceased Harry Green, 20, had
been earning approximately S35
per week and under the Ameri-
can Experience Mortality Table
had life expectancy of 1920
years, the petition states. Based
on these figures plaintiff asks
S76,804 judgement against the de-
fendant as the average earnings
deceased would have been able to
make in his average lifetime. A.
G. Kirby is attorney for the plain
tiff.
The accident was a spectacular
one because the gasoline tanks
of the tractor trailer truck in
which the father and son were
riding, exploded and both were
burned beyond recognition. Iden-
tification was made by papers
found in the billfolds in their
clothing.

Engineer Makes
New County Map

Drawing of new Union County
map, showing all county, town
ship and state roads, their sur
facing and numbers and town
ship boundaries has been COM
pleted by County Engineer N. w,
LleWellyn.
In addition to the map key
and scale, a list of the county and
township roads by name and their
numbers is also given.
The last county map previous
to this one was made in 1916 by
Claude Skidmore, who was then
county engineer. Up to that time
the engineers office had been us
ing a map drawn up in 1927.
Copies of the map have been
made and are for sale to the
general public. They have been
made in two sizes, the larger, on
the scale of one inch to the mile
for IS cents and a smaller on the
scale of 98 inch to the mile for
10 cents.
Mr.. Llewellyn's map will have
a definite advantage for county
road workers in locating trouble
on the roads because of an i'm
proved numbering system put in
to effect on it. This system di-
vides a road into sections A, B,
c, d etc. Each section is de
termined by each cross roads of
functions on the road.
Mr.. Llewellyn began work on
the map shortly after he took
the office of county engineer on
Nov. / last year.
