a Ever since the railroad bridge
crossing on the wagon road west of
4 town was constructed, there has
| been much dissatisfaction express
ed by all who travel the road about
the way the bridge was built. 1t
!. crosses the highway diagonally
:. thus necessiating sharp angle for
drivers to keep the road while cross
ing under the railroad. The width
y between the tiers of piling is less
>. than II feet in the clear and the
2 height is less than eleven. A four
S horse team hitch ed to a load of
hay, if it is heavy load, cannot get
through this space and it requires
good driving to get through with a
two horse team hitched to large
! load. Last week a petition, very
generally signed, was presented to
the county commissioners. asking
that the railroad company be re-
, quired to fix this crossing so that it
would be in a more convenient and
. less dangerous condition. At the
request of the railroad officials a
committee of citizens was appoint
a ed to drive out and look over the
. ground and make recommendations
! as to what would be reasonable in
the matter. This committee de-
cided that to make it safe and con-
, venient there should be at least
thirty feet width and twelve feet in
height, in the clear, or in other
, words, one span of piles should be
t taken out entirely and the ground
. graded down SO as to give twelve
feet below the tressel work. To
do this would require steel girders.
= The committee also recommended
that a railing should be placed on
the north of the wagon road to pre-
