MUST PAY COSTS
EXCAVATIONS UNFENCED Samuel Dibble, who faced four charges in the Magistrate’s Court through leaving a contractor’s plant on a road, was ordered to pay costs, at the adjourned hearing this morning, for leaving an excavation unfenced. The other charges, two of which involved the question as to whether a tractor, a concrete mixer and a dray left in Richardson Road endangered life and limb, were dismissed. The adjournment had been made to see if the road was legally closed. At the first hearing Sub-Inspector McCarthy said that excavations along the footpath had not been protected. Appearing this morning for Dibble, Mr. Snedden said that it had been advertised in the papers that the road was closed. Notices had been put up. Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M.. pointed out that pedestrians still used the footpath. Evidence was given for the police concerning rock left on the footpath, and costs were ordered to be paid on the count of leaving excavations without protection.
