AAhJoR MOORE URGES TIE STRICT ENFORCEMENT OF
THE P0LICB REGULATIONA
The STAR has heretofore referred to the CON-
plants OF citizens against the illegal speed OF
trains and dangerous crossings of the Baltimore
and OHIO Railroad. Uhe last complaint comes
from Nj. James Daegleish, OF the Brentwood road
His complaint is accompanied by the facts in the
case Of Mr.. Samuel N. Bryan, who came near being
blurred on the crossing at the intersection Of New
QvQnna q afa strnoo
Mr. Bryan states In his letter that the night In
question he was crossing the railroad at that
upon him. He could not turn bis horse to Ihe
right because OF the large scafYold used in the
construction OF the new Electric Railroad, and
pile OF iron rails. The horse was excited and All
that he could do was to keep him from plunging
across the track: He states that there was no
light on the scafIold nor was there any light on
the pile OF rails; also there was no waLchman
in sight for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co.
that possibly 1t is too late to make his statement
effective In abating one OF the most Danger
Gus nuisances that ever afnicted the people
the tnefnctency OF the Waterman OF The Baltimore
and OHIO Railroad and says that there are no rail-
road crossings in the United States that he knows
OF more dangerous, either in the day or night
than the one referred to- The danger IS augmented
by the fact that the Waterman Is WIT ldrawn at 10
the Commissioners. TO whom the papers were re-
ferred, and In turn submitted to Major Moore,
with Instructions 70 report to them. To day the
Commissioners received Major MoOre's recommen-
dations, which are to the eject that they require
the police regulations to be enforced Immediately,
not only as regards the crossing OF the Baltimore
ana Ohio Railroad Co at New York avenue and
Boundary street, but all other grade crossings or
Intersections OF its track with streets or avenues
not already properly protected In this connec-
ton Major Moore invites attention to section OF
the act OF the legislative assembly, approved Au-
gust 23d, 1871 and to The necessity Of compelling
the observance OF every provision OF law intended
TO prevent accidents especially as the rate OF
speed, which Is limited In said act to miles an
hour, has been increased to IL miles an hour BY
the police regulations The Commissioners, after
considering the matter at length have referred 1t

trio Light Co to-day for the laying of underground
wires. This Is reissue OF the old permit granted
by the Commissioners prior to the passage OF the
law authorizing underground wirea and for
bidding the erection OF new overhead wireA which
There was some doubt a. to the authority OF the
Commissioners TO grant such permits, and since
the passage OF the law all the companies In the
District who have permits are getting them re-
newed.
