Safety at Crossings.
To the Editor Of The Star:


Before leaving your beautiful city |
would like to comment upon the utter flu
tlity OF your crossing policemen. This is
no reflection upon them. I am sure but
upon those higher up who desire them
for ornaments rather than things of use
fulness. ! was much impressed with the
performances Of chauffeurs who disregard
ed the rights Of pedestrians, especially
women and children. at 9th and r streets,
and who rode into the crowd attempting
to board the cars, meanwhile footing their
horns as if by way Of announcing their
right over the mere pedestrian" Back
Of the chauffeur usually are ladies--at
least. they SO appear-who apparently in
dorse the attitude OF their chauffeur 1t
is an ancient rule at common law that
pedestrians have right Of way" What
must we think OF those back of the
chauffeur who allow him to ride through
women and children boarding cars"
In Pittsburg We place our superannuated
police at crossings with authority abso-
lutte to regulate traffic. If your crossing
police are mere ornaments instructed not to
make the mistake of arresting some
body it IS sad. sad indeed, and needs
careful attention on the part of us who
send representatives to Congress.
drastic crossing law Is needed, ir-
respective of whether the volator is
repres enta tive. senator or whom else. Give
these deserving crossing men power and
protect the pedestrians. otherwise their
presence at crossings is farce.
