Where the tracks OF railway cross the streets
OF city at the same level there is always danger
that teams and pedestrians will be struck by pass
ing trains. Various devices have been tried in tho
last few years for the protection Of the public at
such points, and they have proven more or less
eihcdcious. But any barrier Of this class gives
rise to another serious evil if the number Of trains
ne great The interruption of traffic becomes
frequent. People and wagons subjected num-
efous ana 'cXiiious delays. The aggregate result
ing obstruction, well the long chapter of acct
dents that are recorded IN big city before the
municipal authorities interfere has led to a de-
mand fer the total abolition OF grade crossings in
every centre Of great business activity in this coun-
try. The railroad company is eventually compelled
10 raise lower its tracks and either pay certain
proportion Oi.ually large onc) f the expense. or
else pay II all. This work Is costly and vcry often
the corp@rations upon which such a demand is
made find ii highly inconvcnient to comply Leg
