ut is to be hoped that the Commission
ers will impress upon the minds of the
railroad officials the advisability Of light
ing up the crossings here in the Southwest
with electric lights, said n wide-awake
progressive South Washngtonian to-day.
TIM Cmuc, believe, called attention to
the matter some time since and 10 has
long been observed that the gas lamps do
not give the necessary light being too far
distant from the tracks. Life and limb
are in constant danger under the present
condition OF things. IL is true that the
Commissioners have no authority to fur
nish electric lights ut present, but they
could make gas serve the purpose through
the use of some of the powerful burners
which have been invented recently as one
OF the results of competition between gas
and electric light companies. In the
meantime it would be well for the rail-
roads on their own hook to consider that
between law suits and safeguards the lesser
item of expense is on the safer side"
