LETTERS RECEIVED ON LOCAL MATTERS Electric and Steam Roads Sub- ject to Criticism -- Will Present Council Act? A DANGEROUS CROSSING. To the Editor: Is it too late for the present coun- cil to take some action towards ac- quiring the missing link between Ridge avenue at Oak street and the roadway at the station platform? The idea of all railroads is to safeguard life and save damage suits, yet here is as dangerous a place as one can find--this crossing the tracks twice in describing a semi-circle of approx- imately 100 feet. After a certain] hour at night the gates are not low- ered and there is a chance of an ap- proaching train not being heard and | an appalling accident happening. In the daytime much time is lost by drivers who needs must wait for each | one of over forty trains to pass. The council and road officials should get | together and remedy the matter be-| fore some one's life pays the penalty | of delay. Pro Bono Publico. ELECTRIC ROAD SHELTERS. To the Editor: Has any one of our council been | obliged, on a blizzardy day, to play puss-in-the-corner with a couple more | or less fortunate in their arrival at| the splendidly warmed shelters erect- ed at Sunset road, Ash street, and | further northward?
