man f. Z. Adams who had previously
been appointed Il special committee to
interview Superintendent Dayton of the
West Jersey Railroad in reference to en-
forcing councils ordinance concerning
the erection of safety gates at the Shore
Road crossing, reported that he had not
seen Mr.. Dayton or Judge Pancoast in
reference to the matter. He had been
to Philadelphia three times since he was
appointed but had not found time aside
from his own private business to attend
to the matter. The Council made no ap-
preparation for his expenses and he did
not feel that he ought to do the work
without pay. He hoped to fluid time be-
tween now and the June meeting OF the
Council to see Mr.. Dayton. Councilman
Ezra Matthews made short but vigor
GUS speech saying that everybody knew
that the crossing was a dangerous one
and the company had been ordered to
put up safety gates but paid no attention
to the order. He thought the time had come
when forbearance ceased to be virtue
and it was time that this great corpora
ton should be compelled to observe the
law. No action was taken. Frank

Health called the Councils attention to

the streets surveyed and graded and now
found this dangerous nuisance still exist

Streets. Council then adjourned until
Tuesday evening, May 14th.
