At the office of the comm said this morning that the sion may not be filled before the ter part of the week. The sioners, however, admit that they have decided in favor of the petitioners and the road will be ordered to have gates installed at the crossing within a reasonable period. The action of the commis a splendid victory for President F. T. Wheeler and his associates on the as- sociation’s board of directors For months they have been agitating im- proved conditions at the crossing and they have been ‘‘pushing” the offi- cials of the road hard in an effort to have the system of flagging zive way to gates. The railroad made many promises and the officials themselves seemingly made an effort to have them carried out. Brakemen were instructed to guard the crossing at night while the switcher was in opera- tion in the vicinity and the engineers of passenger trains had orders to slow down at East Main street. The men became careless at time however, and there was but little imnrovement. The company then had the wuard at the crossing use a danger hoard in- stead of a flag in the hope that much of the danger would be eliminated. This change did not give the desired results either. Requests for the installation of gates were turned down by the com- pany on the grounds that the traffic for oners is | it " { daughter nize the dan- | | gates in operation | which | bride-to-be over the crossing was not suificient to warrant the expenditure which tne improvement would entail.
