A Broad Rule.

Broad Rule.
The editor of the Engineering News
writing to The Star on this subject SAYS:
My general impression is that in Inc
larger cities. where the most extensive
work has been done. the cost has been
borne very largely by the railways as
they We're forced to make the improve
ments in order to increase their terminal
facilities"
The railroads necessities are now greater
than those of the city. in most cases. 1t
will be found upon close analysis that the
Baltimore and Ohio's necessities are far
more pressing. especially in the matter of
the southern connection, than are those Of
the community, serious as are the latter
Why the b. and D. Requires Change.
In the case of Washington the railroads
are absolutely forced in their Nn interest
to push these improvements. They are I'M

accidents. and are often mulcted In heavy
sums when lives are lost, injuries are in

ways. involving a loss Of time and a heavy
expenditure In the case Of the Pennsylva-
MIA road there Is great Inconvenience
caused by the necessity Of hacking trains
into the station. In the case Of the Baltt-
more and Ohio there is the threat of the
expiration in 1910 Of a privilege, without
which it would be virtually impossible to
transact the railroads business. the privt-
washington
branch within the city limits. There ia In
both cases the threat of action for the IL
legal occupation of public spaces by the
railroad tracks. an custer from which
would cause great Inconvenience and pc
cuniary loss to the railroad companies
There is at all times insistent public pres

their present disgraceful terminals by
creditable systems and stations to conform

character OF the community. There is the

All these factors exist today to put a
premium upon railroad enterprise in this

An Unusual Complication.
In this case. the city Numbered in the
first place in giving the railroad a privilege
which, II fully accepted, would inure greatly
to the community's .detriment Thus, when
the time came to change the conditions of
the improvement, the railroad had the ad
vantage and the city was compelled to
pay for its original error in granting a
right which would have destroyed one of
its finest thoroughfares, and caused such
a humping Of the chief artery of the city's
business as to involve the probability of
enormous damage The equal division of
cost In such case it is clear, sprang large

railroad had been granted a right which It
might have exercised to. the city's harm
In 1889 President Roberts of the PennsyI-
vania Railroad Company wrote q letter In
reply to an inquiry signed by a number
of prominent Philadelphians asking wheth
Ell the corporation desired the passage by
the legislature of a pending measure known
as the grade crossing BILL" In the course
of this reply Mr.. Roberts entered into a
discussion of the general subject of grade
crossings and the attitude of the Pennsyl-
vania road In relation thereto. which bears
Interestingly upon the present cunsidera-
ton Of the cost OF such Improvements. He
said:
Il do not think any argument Is needed
to convince the public that the time las
gone by when the lives and limbs of our
citizens should be constantly exposed to
the perils resulting from crossing Of streets
by steam railroads at grade. The records
OF the city OF Philadelphia show that annu-
ally about forty people lose their lives a.

number are more or less seriously injured,

reiterating the statement that his vim
dication from under the charges preferred
against him was complete and full The
only suggestion made by Secretary
Hitchcock was TO the effect that the ter
ritoriaI treasurer's bond be increased to
an amount commensurate with the vol
ume Of public deposits This suggestion
in no way casts any reflection upon the
integrity of Treasurer Thompson and is
simply exercising sound business judg-
rnent. It viii be remembered that Gov
ernor Barnes submitted a similar SUCCESS
ton to the last legislature in view Of the
rapid accumulation Of the school fund
but the lawmakers in their wisdom did
not see fit TO make any change.
Governor Barnes informed the Eagle
