elared that the calling for new lids
would necessitate delay which might
make it impossible for the new build

opening of the fair next fall. Even
the suggestion of a delay. declare

Hunts figures might mean COM
siderable expense, Mr.. Cohen was Of
the opinion that 1t would prove good
investment In the end.
The councilmen finally gave over
their objections and the recommen-
dation will go to the Board of Alder
men Tuesday night. that the contract
for the building go TO Mr.. Hunt, with
the understanding that the city pay
out only $4,000. and that all ex-
penses in excess of that sum be borne

PHILADELPHIA. PA. June ii
Due to the campaign against trcspass-
Ing luaugurated in 1907 by the Penn
svlvanid Railroad. the number Of per
sons killed while walking ou its tracks
during 1908 was fifty eight less than
in the preceding year. and last year the
number was eighty three less than in
1905 These facts are contained tn a
statement nlst ISSUED by the company,
and coupled with them is the announce
ment that greater effort is being made

hcr ,
According to the figures given in the
statement more than $4,000 persons
were killed aud mere than $4,000 were
injured while trospassiHg on railroad
property in the United states during
the last eleven years,
In 1897 there were 9i5 persons Killed
on the lines OF the Pennsylvania Rail
road. In an effort TO reduce the fath :
tiles, tho company posted thousaafS OF
warning Hotiees and instructed special
polieement to arrest all trespasSers.
Figures compiled III 1905 showed that
75T were killed, and last year the mum
her Was 1872. In the eleven years prior

Ii is not only tramps who lose their
lives while trespassing. Factory work
men. their wives and children, who use
railroad tracks as thoroughFares, are
ALSO killed. More than 10000 trespas-
sers were arrested in 1909.
The number of trespassers killed on
the railroads has been Increasing with
the growth of the systems. In 1898,
4 o63 lot their live on American rail-
soads. Five years 1aten the number
was 5000, and in 1907 the number
killed was S.612--more than fifteen Il

4S5 trespassers We're killed in 1892 ISL
were killed in 1904, and 9i5 in ls0o---
an averages Of almost three Tor every
business day of the year.
Watchmen are stationed along the
Pennsylvania's lines now to sec that
the warning signs are needed, The
co operation of city and county author
tiles has been solicited IA the campaign.
Heretofore. the actual punishment OF
persons for violating the -traspass laws
has been infreauent. the cost of inn
prisoning such persons deterring courts
from holding those arrested while tres
passing.

Of the $4,000 appropriated fur rng

This agreement was reached at a
meeting Monday night, when the con
tract for the work was awarded CsI-
bert j. Hunt, after the latter had
lowered his bid from $5s,130 to str
