N.C. Considers Marking Fatal Accidents With Large White Crosses, Feb. 4, 1926

System Works Well in Ohio

Gastonia, Feb. 4 (AP)—The erection of large white wooden crosses at spots on North Carolina highways where a person has been killed, as a striking reminder to passing motorists that they should be careful, is being advocated in North Carolina by C.M. McDonald, a Long Island, N.Y., attorney, who is in this state on business.

The system in use in the state of Ohio is working well in that state, Mr. McDonald declares. Former Governor Carmeron Morrison favors the plan, he stated, and has suggested that he bring the suggestion to the attention of Governor McLean and Frank Page, chairman of the State Highway Commission.
