Track Depression Agitated by Death Killing of Leonardo Battaglia on N. W. Brings Up Question of Safety System for Township Agitation of the matter of railroad track depression since the death on Saturday night of Leonardo Battag- lia, flagman, is one of the results of the fatal accident. The death of Bat- taglia is the latest of a long string of fatalities at the railroad crossing in the township, and many residents feet that the safety of the community depends upon some form of action to eliminate the hazards of the old- fashioned grade crossings. Battaglia, who was 52 years old, had been flagman at the Gage street crossing of the Chicago and North- western line since John Miller, hero flagman, was severely injured in the famous Tanner tragedy last year. He lived at 2142 Dewey avenue, Evans- ton. The accident itself is shrouded in mystery as no eye witnesses have thus far been produced for the cor- oner. The inquest has been contin- ued until next week. It was about 7 o'clock that Battaglia left the cross- ing shanty to flag one of two trains which were drawing close to Gage 'treet from opposite directions. Tt is believed by those who later ar- rived on the scene that the flagman had attempted to signal for only a southbound train and failed to see the other one, until he had time only to leap across the tracks into the} path of the south-bound train No. 405. His body was picked up a few moments later, lying on almost the identical spot where John Fitch Tanner and his wife died in each other's arms. August Trapp of Hub- bard Woods was the first person to find the still breathing form and other people helped to carry Battag- lia into the Hubbard Woods phar- macy, where an examination show- ed both arms and legs had been broken and the skull fractured. He died within an hour. express URGE OFFICIALS TO ACCEPT SECOND TERM (Continued from Page 1) The somewhat unusual practice of having this Caucus select candidates for the Public School Board was the result of a request made by Mr. Laird Bell, President of the Board, at the meeting. It has been customary in previous years to place candidates for School Trustees and School Board President in nomination in the usual way by petition and to hold a public meeting or caucus for the considera- tion of such nominees. The School Board Election comes on April 17th. Mr. Bell was anxious that as much publicity be given to the selection of these candidates as possible by tak- ing advantage of the representative meeting to get the School Board nom- inations bfore the Village at an early date. Miller Tells Plans Mr. John 8. Miller, Jr. president of the village, presented an informul report of village activities during the year, stating that definite progress had been made, looking toward the accomplishment of track depression; the selectionof a site for village yard and waste disposal plant; the expan- sion of the Fire Department to fur- nish greater protection: the realiza- tion of the Village Plan as reported by the Village Plan Commission 'and alon gthe line of reorganization of the Village Finances and management. He also reported progress on the Filter Plan Project and on the Zoning Plan, on which a special committee is at work. The possibility of establishing a Municipal Gas Manufacturing Plant was raised by Mr. Robert Wallace, who complained that the service given by the Gas Company is far from satis- factory. ! The meeting was well attended by an usually representative body of citi- zens. AYRES BOAL RESIGNS IN SECOND YEAR AS TRUSTEE Announcement has been made of the resignation from the village board of Trustee Ayres Boal, 789 Sheridan road. Mr. Boal has served the village for one year and his term has still another to go but it was stated that the trustee was not plan- ning to drop entirely out of executive work in the village but would give much of his time in the future to- wards completing some of the work which has come before the hoard during his term. DR. GRENFELL SPEAKER Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell of Labrador will give an illustrated lecture in the Community House gymnasium on Sunday evening, March 21, at 8 o'clock.
