which is township wins case tho township of stvincont won a damage action brought against it by gordon head of moaford according to judgment by his honor judge g w morloy in a case which was tried before him at the last division court in moaford this court caso arose out ot an automobile accident on the seventh line of stvincont on october 15 last when a truck owned and driven by gordon head went into the ditcli after it had struck a pile of loose gravel placed on tho road by the township in order to repair some holes tho truck was damaged to the extent ot 100 when it went into tho ditch and struck n pile of stones in tho judgment judge morloy found that tho road in question was kept in a condition reasonably suf ficient for tho needs of traffic over it and further finds that tho accident was caused by tho plaintiff driving at an oxcessivo rate ot speed having regard to tho weather conditions at tho timo tho narrowness ot this country road and tho fact that he could havo seontho gravel it hejiad maintained a proper lookout tho judgo further hold that the pile of stones which tho plaintiffs truck ul timately struck on tho roadside was not tho real cause of tho accident and that this pile was not a nuisance which would render tho township liable tho judgo further upheld tho dofonco contention that proper notice following tho accident had not been given by head to tho
