company ought to place gate Bridge street.

cent occurred Tuesday. There have been several
acclttnts at the same place involving law suits
against the company. The bridge is the main
thorousharc for the northern portion of Waldo
county to and from the city and there is large
amount of travel at this point. Another perplcN-
Ing thing for strangers al this place is the fact that
above the crossing, when the train comes in, the
cnSiNa dlScoNnects from the train and at an in
creased speed comes iii ahead. Frequently after
the engine passes, strangers ,io not realize that
the remaining portion OF the train is coming and
attempt to PASS over. The company should put
gate across the highway at the crossing, and we
believe the city has a right to demand it,
