THE Railroad Commission appointed
under che law passed by the last legisla-
ture is at work and has already given evil
dence of probing into the affairs that ap-
pear to need regulating. Every complaint
sent to it in the proper shape viii receive
consideration. From present appearances
it looks as if the grade crossing must
either go or will be made expensive insti-
buttons for the railroads. On the Burling-
ton branch of the Pennsylvania railroad
every grade crossing needs protection.
Beginning with Grant street there is not a
single crossing between here and Burling-
ton that is not dangerous and at two of
them there have been accidents, one of
which at least was fatal The fact that
few trains are run over the road makes
these crossings more dangerous, as the
travelling public does not know when to
be on the lookout for a train. The Erie
railroad company has been directed to
light and ventilate its cars better than has
been the custom and. other things have
been done to show that the commission
means that the public shall be cared for.
The law which brought the commission
into existence is very sweeping and gives
almost unlimited power, and the result
cannot be but beneficial in the end.
