signed by j. w Fitzgerald. and is now
being used on the Disco lighting aud
starting system.

GRADE CROSSING VICTIMS.

~r1WO men we're killed and one man was injured
morally in railroad grade crossing accidents
in this state on Sunday. ono Of those killed was
retired physician and the other retired farmer Both
men we're in automobiles one machine ran into the
side Of a PASSENGER train. The other struck by
a fast freight train. Both accidents occurred at un-
guarded grade crossings one in Kent and the other
IN sussex Seemingly they resulted from the reck-
lcssness Of the operators Of the automobiles They
failed to slow down when they approached the cross
ngs and to look aud listen before sending their ma
chimes upon The rlght-of-way.
Apart from the question of negligence the fact can
not be denied that there in Delaware hundreds Of
such grade crossings and that most of them are un-
guarded BY either aagmen or gates. They const-
tutc a constant menace to the public. That fact is
recognized as kcenly by the railroad officials it is
by the people at large It is doubted however that
The railroads in this State south of Whining
ton have sufficient funds available To engage IN any
extensive work of elimination The outlook is that
It win be many years before an the crossings of rail-
roads in the rural. sections vii. be above or below
grace. 1t would cost millions oi dollars -
do such an elimination work i'm its entirety. Tho
treasury Of even a very rich railroad scarcely would
stand such strain. An operation of that sort even
If contemplated would be carried over series of
years ON the score of expense
And yet the mortality due to srado crossing acci-
rural Delaware has boon great that every
one must realize that be done than is be-
ne for the protection of those using such cross
nes Il Nill money TO do it but public souti-
mont viii such expenditure sooner later.
With the traffic in public roads increasing con-
santly and the number Of trains operated ON the rail
roads swelling steadily the gradecrossng menace he
comes worse all the time
II may be said IN behalf Of the railroads that the
public owes to them the of caution in
ing the tracks That SIS true No fair-minded per-
son would to put premium upon rccdessness
Despite such admission, it must not he forgotten
that the railroads know they have responsibility in
the matter That attostod clearly by the expensive
work of elimination that has been done in this city
and also by the that hagmen gates. signal gongs
and other safety devices maintained in many places
by the railroads The trouble is that proper safety

result. trains slaughtering people. In view
Of such widespread condition of danger. tho public
officials should take up with the railroad officials the
matter of reasonable safeguards pending work OF
elimination and such negotiations should result i'm
benefit only the travelling public but also the
treasures Of tho companies, which have TO stand the
strain Of tort claims which usually arise from grade
crossing ac ;dens.

sHoRr.slcHrED KENT FOUNTAINS.

I T is Characteristic OF cartIn men in Kent
county TO oppose vigorously acceptance of the
Federal Governments offer TO give $4,000 toward the
construction Of a road between Smyrna and Do
yer provided the county will spend $4,000 ON that
road They are, as rule, the who assisted in
the hold-up of the dupont Boulevard project The
reason they assign for their opposition to an accep-
lance OF the Governments offer is that il the county
were TO spend 100000 on that stretch OF road which
is part the state road. there would be nothing left
road building in other parts the two districts af-
fectcd by the improvement.
The distance from Smyrna TO Dover is approx
mately twelve miles. The $4,000 spoken Of above
would permit OF the paving of that portion of the
state road such a way that it would be admir-
able continuation Of the good road work that is be-
ing prosecuted by New Castle county from Wilmington
southwark II would mean that in few months,
with the closing of the short gaps in New Castle
county there would be a continuous line Of good
road from Wilmington down 20 the State capital
II is so highly important that the state road be Inn
proved the length Of Kent county that one would
think that the people in Kent regardless Of dis
trct limos would be glad to avail themselves of the
Federal Governments offer. Aud yet find men
who should in the the good roads move
ment in the midland county proving themselves TO be
the worst sort of rcacuonares and willing that the
public should lose the benefit of the $4,000 offered
by the Government merely that patches of good road
may be built IN sections OF tire two districts other
than the section between SMYRNA and Dover.
