Farmers on the Glassborc county road
complain bitterly of the condition in which
they are placed as to the railroad crossing
at the Woodbury. end of that road After
all the expense to themselves and tax
payers at large to improve this road, they
yet fear to send their teams to market over
it on account of the dangerous crossing in
this city, where six tracks over which
frequent trains are run, are unguarded
between early evening and the morning.
Within few weeks last Summer one man
was killed, one man seriously hurt two
wagons smashed, one horse killed and three
disabled In two instances, where men
have got off their loads and gone On the
tracks TO see that they were clear, then
being Obliged to turn between the tracks to
escape being run down. This is the condi-
tion, and yet no steps have been taken
either by the Railroad Company, the city
or county TO make this crossing safe. 1t
seems to us that either City Council or the
Board of Chosen Freehoders should make
move TO haye this crossing properly
guarded all night--if the railroad company
will not, then one Or both the other should.
