is going less than fifteen miles, and going through the country I go sometimes pretty fast. Going fifteen miles doesn't seem going very fast. My wife has often called me down about going thirty miles as too fast; going fifteen it just seem to me we are not going. Mr Cowan;- You have driven over Number Five Road? A;- Number Five Road? I don't know where it is. Q;- It is the continuation of Fraser Avenue? A;- Yes. Q;- Did you notice the faster the machine goes the more the vibration? A;- Yes. Q;- And the same on the bridge? A;- I noticed the planks didn't seem to be nailed on. Q;- And the bridge tender seeing hundreds of cars crossing the bridge every day would become familiar with the speed of cars? A;- I think the bridge tender seeing the cars going across he would. Mr Beck- His occupation would fit him for guaging gauging the speed? A;- Yes. Q;-Bridge tender seeing an automobile going over the bridge at twenty-five miles an hour would have him arrested? A;- I could not say that.
- 6 Charles Granholm, 915 Burnaby Street, Westminster, B.C. master mariner, being duly sworn, saith;-
I was going down the river with a scowload of brush and blew for the bridge the same as always. When I got within two hundred feet of the bridge, it was open and I heard somebody holloa holler there was somebody in the water, and just before I heard the holloa, I seen the light of an automobile falling over the end of the bridge. I stopped the engine and went out on the top of the house to get out the boat. I jumped in it and went to save the people that were in the water.
