The work has required years and the
investment Is enormous and for a
purpose which all the railways have
been charged with disregarding viz:
the safety of the public. This Is a
milestone In railway financing that

the Burlington Is entitled TO due
credit for its remarkable record OF
10000, 900 passengers carried without
one fatality. AS the railways now
have been headed in the right direc-
ton. it is high time for the public
and its official representatives to see
that there is n reduction in the cas-
ualties which are clearly chargeable
to failure to keep children and fools
out of train danger. OF the total
deaths each year. on railways much

Burlington has established n notable
precedent; will some community do
as much in protecting the children
and the fool?"
