ORLD GIRDLING GIANTS CINCH FLAG, SENATORS GAIN Poisoning of Husband (axes) “H "eI. 8120; ae AVOIDING GRADE CROSSINGS (eprrortaL) What is considered a vast sum of money has just been expended to construct a viaduct on a city street in Casper to eliminate a railroad grade crossing in connecting the main portion of the city with North Casper. It is a desirable im- provement, because it remoy danger to life and property in the use of on important north and south street.

In permanent road building the study everywhere is to ayoid crossing railroad tracks. It is practiced by the highway commission itself on the West Yellowstone highway, but it iss perpetuating the most dangerous crossing in Natrona county on the t Yellowstone highway . It appears that simple every day foresight would havo suggested to the highway commission designation of Second street extended to a point between the railroad crossing re- ferred to and the Stroud ranch, as the highway to bear the through traffic. This would throw the highway in its en- tirety south of the Northwestern tracks and ayou«l the cross: ing altogether. Numerous advantages could be cited in favor of such ac: tion, distinctly aside from the avoidance of the objectionable railroad crossing, not the least of which would be the scenic features of the route. It is understood too, that the refining companies were in accord with the idea of the change of highway location, as suggested and stood ready to aid in every manner possible eyen to financial assistance in constructing the highway, Evansyille and the refineries under the plan would have been connected up with the proposed highway just as conveniently as they are with the present one.
