considered dangerous; but on many highways
all travel is compelled not merely TO cross, but
to move along railroads upon which are cars
almost as ponderous and as swiftly moving as
the steam railroad cars of generation ago.
Such an arrangement is fraught with serious
danger.
In many cases public highways might be
freed from this perilous railroad invasion by
making them wide enough to afford room for
vehicles to traverse them and TO pass each other
without going upon the car tracks. That is the
case in nearly all city streets. Certainly II SO
much space can be given TO highways in the
city il usually can also be given in the country,
where land is so much less costly For ordinary
purposes il would be well if the average coun-
try road were twice as wide as it is. so that We
hicles might pass each other without turning
out" When the road is shared with an electric
railroad, such widening is desirable that it
should be regarded as necessary and should be
made compulsory, when no serious hardship 10
property owners would result. When done II
would facilitate the safer and more speedy Oper-
alton of the cars; il would add to the safety
and comfort of ordinary traffic; it would en-
hance the value of property along the road. and
ii would vastly improve the appearance and in
crease the attractiveneSs Of the region traversed
Other points raised by railroad building on
highways also demand earnest attention. One
ley folk nine times out Of ten wait until road
Is macadamized. and then rip il up and spoil it.
II might he we'll to require them TO widen such
Il road-where it can properly be widened-so as
20 lay their tracks entirely off the macadam and
without disturbing it. In any case, they should
he cOmpelled-aS now they seldom are-to leave
the pavement in as good a condition as that in
which they found it, Another point has TO do
with the trees. One of the first things the troll
icy folk usually do is. without necessity, TO de-
Stroy or nutiate many of the shade trees along
the road. That certainly should be prohibited
and the prohibition should be effectively en-
forced. 1t is good thing 10 have trolley lines;
but we should be able to have them without en-
dangerinS ordinary traffic. without DESTROYING
good roads and without transforming sylvan
highways into Shadeless and scorching deserts
Where an existing road cannot be occupied bv n
trolley line without mourning such evils the
railroad should always be debarred from 1t and
compelled to follow some other route In short
the men who expect to make money out of the
trolleys should first put their money In and
stop trying TO beat their way by stealing
right of way that belongs to other people and
has been developed for other uses

HIGHWAYS AND RAILWAYS.

Public roads in rural and seml-ruraI regions
are undergoing greater change in use than has
Deen known before since roads were first CON
structed In cities many of the streets have
long been occupied by railroads. ut first with
horse, then with cable and finally with electric
traction; and on few Of them steam railroads
have been operated. But country roads have
been reserved Cor pedestrians and horse drawn
vehicles. without rails. Railroads have been re-
quired to traverse special routes OF their own
With the invention OF the trolley car however
the gridironing of the country with electric
railroads was made practicable. and the process
has not Jagged. Nor should it lag. 1t is q good
thing. BY the operation of trolley lines rba
isolation Of farm and village life is relieved IN
the pleasure and profit of all concerned. social
ana Industrial conditions are improved. and Tho
whole standard OF life is raised to a higher
plane.
This benefcent innovation however ra,sos

narrow, Just wide enough for two vehicles
TO pass each other. On such a highway
