when. the train stonped at every station:
Mind yon they have twelve. miles ia many

Mr.. Dalton was asked as tethe other
ordinances introduced at the last Council:
meeting. :. -. e: = - - =, :,
In regard to the flag ordinance at sta
ti0ns. he said: -. :: :. ::
''There should be no exception taken to.
the fiagnan ordinance. The railroad COM
pany itself saw the necessity for putting
fagmen at Washington. Broadway and
Webster on Seventh. Why are they not
just as necessary at First, on Webster. and
at the drawbridge down. on Water street,
and at Cedar street? Ithink they are.
What is wrong about that ordfnancef
Why Cedar and Seventh need q fagman
more than the other. places. as.'there is
mt ore rail traffic there. There should also
be a ffagman where the Berkeley train
rounds the curve al this end of the mole,
judging from the number of people who
have been killed aAdinjured there. o.. -.
AS toths ordinance; compelling stop:
page. when *crossing streets where. steam
cars run. why there can be no objection to
that. Tine RAILROAD company always did.
this at Webster and at First, and it Should
be ade to do.th1s: at the drawbridges at
both Alice and Webster street. l believe
the people have not yes forgotten. the
Webster-street disaster when so many.
lives were lost, -. ...-..... -. -:

'pahy. while i am certain that it will not
cause any loss of time in reaching. the city,
and above all it will. lessen the chances Of
accidents. mangled limbs and loss of life"
Councilman Dow-We are not going 10
take any hasty action In this MA tier.
Wht!eit is certain that the Council will
adopt a proper ordinance covering this
/. flying" train, 1t is. best that itge regularly
through. the com mitteeRnd Council and be
thoroughly eXanfn ed into. The. speed
should be limited in travelling through the
