The rapid spread OF electric rail
roads puts a new phase on the grade
crossing question. No one, we pre-
sumo. doubts that il steam railroads
were now being introduced they would
be compelled to cross highways either
over or beneath the surface. That is
the teaching of common sense and
the requirement Of common safe
ty. 1t Is too late to deal with this
subject in a radical way; but it is not
too late to deal with the question
whether electric roads shall cross
steam roads at grade. Now is pre-
cisely the time to deal with it, and it
ought to be settled in every state.
