STREET CROSSING GUARDS.
Appeal I'm Their Behalf by Mr.. w.
Dodge.


William Dodge has written the Com
missioners In behalf of the street crossing
guards. Mr.. Dodge says:
I'm the interest of the public and the Of
ficers concerned. beg to call attention to
matter OF which 1 learned today 1t is
possible my information is not wholly ac-
curate. but as to that you will be able to
Judge. 1 state the facts as / understand
them to be. At the intersection of 9th
and F streets, 9th and G and other streets
are employed officers who are paid, as /
understand, by the railway companies, and
whose duties are, at least primarily, to
guard the crossings and protect pedestrians
at these points. These men wear the regu-
lar uniform of the police force, are gov
erned by the police manual or regulations
and are required generally to perform the
usual duties of other officers within their
territory.
when an arrest is made by one of these
omcers, and 1t becomes necessary for him
to attend the Police Court, his station Is
unguarded or another crossing is robbed Of
Its attendant to enable the deserted one to
De protected. Such protection is Of very
great Importance, as may readily be seen
py any one watching at one Of these points
Tor short time. Is it not feasible, as it
seems clearly desirable, to arrange for the
detail OF one Of the regular force to take
the piace OF an Oncer called away?
i am told. also, that while amenable to
all the regulations governing the regular
force, and while the fines growing out Of
their arrests go in whole or in part into
the relief fund Of the police department.
these special crossing guards are not given
either the furlough accorded to the regular
force or the sick leave to which said MEM
bers are entitled. Presumably these mat
tiers are controlled by the act providing for
the special guards, and it may be that you
are without authority to grant them these
privileges. If, however, it be within your
power to act upon these suggestions trust
l am not exceeding the legitimate sphere
OF a citizen interested in the welfare of the
city generally in asking for these men what
seems to be only fair and just treatment
1t Is a fact, generally ascertainable If not
apparent, that the duties of these positions
are peculiarly onerous. the men being un-
projected from sun, rain or snow, and COM
pelled to remain at or near the crossings
subject to the very trying reflection and
radiation from the asphalt roadway.
In conclusion, l beg to say that this is
written merely in my individual capacity
as citizen, and not an attorney or repre-
sentative of any one. / shall be glad to
be set right, if in error as to the facts. If
they be correctly stated the suggestions
seem to be entirely proper

ANNUAL EXHIBIT.
Southern Railway Operations for the
Past Fiscal Year.

The seventh annual report of the opera
tions of the Southern Railway Company,
which has just been issued, shows that
the receipts during the fiscal year ending
June 80 last amounted to $34, $50. 49, Is, an
increase of 50, ,450, ,61229 over the previous
year. The average number of miles oper-
ated for the year was 6,612, as compared
with an average of 6,3O6 miles In 1900.
President Spencer points out in the re-
port that during the year the ruling grades
and curvature on the entire line between
Knoxville. Tenn. and Asheville, N. c.,
distance of 129 miles, were SO reduced that
the trainload of the standard freight en-
gine on that division has been increased
from $50 to 1,2O0 tons. The cost, $269. 7oS,
was charged against income. He states,
furthermore that similar improvements
have been begun on the line between Ashe-
vile and Salisbury, N. c., to establish the
same ruling grades. except at the noun
tain summit, where the use of helping
engines must be continued. When this work
shall have been completed, a year hence,
standard freight engine, he states, will
be able to haul a uniform train of 1900
tons from Knoxville, Tenn, to Norfolk-5s4
HileS-except over the one grade at the
mountain summit just referred to-.
The expenditures on equipment were OH q
limited scale. The payments during the
year for new equipment purchased and
charged against income were 81 4A, SOL this
representing the cost Of 25 locomotives, 15
passenger cars and 1,223 freight cars, as
against which the equipment retired COM
prised only IL locomotives, IL passenger
and $50 freight cars.
The mileage Of the Southern railway has
expanded from about 400 miles in 1895 to
6,72S miles in 1901, covering practically
the entire southern country east of the
Mississippi river from st. Louis to the At
lantic seaboard. Two important roads were
acquired during the past year, namely. the
Louisville. Evansville and st. Louis and
the Mobile and Ohio, both Of which, 1t is
believed by the new owners, will prove de-
sirable acquisitions and contribute ma
terially to strengthen the position and the
traffic of the system. Certain other roads
controlled by or affiliated with the South
ern railway, including the Alabama Great
Southern, the Cincinnati, New Orleans and
Texas Pacific and the Georgia Southern
and Florida, have from the first been op-
Grated separately. These, with the Mobile
and Ohio, have an aggregate mileage of
nearly 1000 miles, and the Central Of
Georgia, Independent property, but
whose stock is held by interests allied
with the Southern railway, comprises ,S52
miles more.
Thus 1t appears that no less than 10,5O0
miles of road are managed and controlled
by or brought in close and harmonious re-
lation with the Southern railway.
