The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad

Ito provide tection to the travelling
public at grade crossings In the vicin-
|ity. pt the Tin Plate plant, the Hazel
Atlas plant and damston and also
to reduce the bloc king Of these cross
ings to a minimum. A special in
vesttg alton was requested of General
Manager. Galloway to ascertain IL It
were practicable to eliminate at least
one Of the grade crossings In the
vicinity Of the tin plate mill, divert
ing nearly all the travel away from
these two crossings by the re-loca-
ton pt part Of the Bridgeport
road. a careful study has been made
,of the situation, which indicates that
the solution Of this problem rests pri-
marily with the county authorities.
sWesaxpect, however, that the railroad
company will provide necessary pros
lection and orders have been issued
to reduce to q minimum the BLOCK
ing Of trafdc at these ptipts.
The board Of trades request for au-
+nouncing boards at our passenger sta

4ly by the railroad company.
We have been requested urgently,
to press the need Of adequate Pull

particularly east. The passenger re-
jceipts Of Clarksburg station were over,

The permanent improvement OF the

Company and the cooperation of the.

The directors have authorized the

been made without the expense and
unpleasantness OF recourse to the

At special meetings OF the board
of directors of both the board aan
the business mems league. a strong
protest was issued against the pro-
posed effort Of West Virginia rail-
road companies to increase the rate
fifteen cents per ton on coal to points,
west Of the Ohio river. Such increase
would mean total increase in trans
portation costs to the coal operators
of the state, approximately $11.0O0,-
900 an amount about equal to the his
toric West Virginia debt. The influ-
ence Of every business interest OF the
state should be lined up agaist this
outrage. which from informationl
now at hand, does not appear to BEL
.chargeab1e against these railroads.
