PUBLIC NOT PROTECTED

1t seems strange and truly remark
able that there are not more acct

a number of years the company has
been threatening to erect gates for
the safety of the travelling public, but
still no action has been taken in this
regard. People are allowed to roam at
random in and out among the trains,
swarm the tracks and cause Station
Master Clarence Mayhem to lead a
very strenuous existence during the
busy summer months.
A travelling man made the remark
this morning that Richmond was the
largest city he had ever visited that
did not have safety gates in the sta
ton. He stated that this fact was be.
ing commented upon and criticised not
only by people ct this city, but By the
towns and cities throughout this part
of the country.
Trains come in every few minutes
about ten O'Clock in the morning and
there have been many narrow escapes

to witness Station Master Mayhem res

also allowed to ramble around among

That the need Of gates is apparen,
will be seen by all who visit the de-
