FISHING LINE ACROSS A STREET.
Sydney.
Two strands of fishing line stretched across a Bankstown street caught a motor-cyclist across the eye.
He was badly hurt-he nearly lost his sight.
The cyclist, Arthur C. Lovett, a tramway employee, of Surrey Avenue, Bankstown, was riding to work at the Rozelle Tramway Depot.
At the corner of Rookwood and Liverpool streets, Bankstown, he was caught across the eyes,, and sent hurtling across the road."
The fishing line had been tied to
a telegraph pole on one side of the street and to a stationary Horry at the other. It was, ap-.

Lovett was picked up, groan- ing with the pain of his injured' eyes and the bruises and shaking of the spill, and was hurried to Sydney Hospital, '
