RIDGES OF LOOSE METAL LEFT BY ROAD GRADERS.
"I noticed recently that one of our magistrates, commenting on the danger arising out of the leaving of a ridge of loose metal by a grader, said that one of these days one of our local bodies will probably be faced with an action for manslaughter. There is no doubt that a grave source of danger arises when, as unfortunately quite frequently happens, a grader leaves a. high ridge of metal over a long stretch of road. The danger, of course, is aggravated when the job is incomplete by nightfall and the ridge of metal is left as a menace to traffic. Probably the danger would be very largely avoided if shorter stretches of road were graded at a time and finished before passdng on to the next stretch," says Mr, W. A. O'Callaghan, president 'of the North Island (N.Z.) Motor Union, in his annual report to be presented at the twentieth conference in Auckland to-day.
