Al THE SIGN Of THE PRESS



During the past year, in the State OF
New Jersey, three hundred and sixty
people have been killed by the railroads
and five hundred and eleven injured.
A liberal percentage OF human lives
the railroads have to answer for. What
roll call of human soulsl
Evidently New Jersey corporations are
quite above noticing such insignificant
items as souls.
Not only the railroads are responsible
but every county, town and mllIlclpal
voter. Safety gates and elevated cross
ings should be insisted upon wherever
railroad crossings occur.
Within our own borough exists fright
full menaces to public safety. The very
possible liability of future damage suits
should stir into action our citizens rela-
tive to grade crossings.
1t corporations seltshly and heartlessly
endanger life and limb and unheedingiy
monopolize public rights, it is all the
more important that the people should
not tolerate such high handed methods;
the more incumbent upon public officers
TO take away the valuable franchises
and privileges given them for supposed
mutual benefit
While on the subject of railroad neg
igence and grand indifference to thu
wishes of the public, a most important
improvement is now demanded, since tho
growth fthe town.
The removal of the present switching
tracks to the portion above the railroad
station, which was evidently intended
for such use. At present the space be-
tween the station and Main street II
frequently blocked with cars, switching
ringing of bells and footing signals unit
business Offices on the street have tc
suspend Teams on each side OF thu
track on Main street are also greatly de
layed.
Such state of affairs is unnecessary
The freight offices should be moved to !
point above the present station and II
the station is not to be moved, a decent
approach to it should be Immediately
made.
Present appearances Indicate that thu
railroad is willing to offer barely sutl
cient inducements and accommodations
to the public to get its money and sud
denly balk right there.
The corporations must awaken to th'
fact that Pleasantvile is no longer i'll
crablike state, stopping in one place
or crawling backward. 1t is growing
alert to its interests and Progress is its
watchword.
The so-called station is not worthy OF
railroad company doing the business
that Pleasantvile affords. An applica
tion of water and paint would not be
amiss The sanitary conveniences beg
gars the power of language.
Does the railroad company lull itselt
into somnolent ease by thinking that i'll
its opulence and power, it is out oi
reach of the action of the peopley II
must not SO deceive itself. The people
are coming to be rulers and not the
corporations For short period TIL,
sudden development of corporations III
this country of freedom, dazed and ap
parently beat into submission our fire,

OF the new order began to wear of, thu
