Hess of Toledo and the signal system,
claimed by Hess and Ernst to have
been faulty.
Ernst argues that if the tower of

proach of first No. S6, the system was
out of order. Engineer Leonard of the
first section claims to have stopped
when the home signal showed red. If
the automatic signals were working
properly the block signal should have
shown red and stopped the second
section. Engineer Hess declares that
all signals showed clear to him. but
after the collision he went back and
found the block red, therefore he

TO BUY FIRE CARS

the members of the city council are
questioning the advisability of author
izing a $4,000 bond issue for the pur-

patrol for the police department.
If this bond issue is floated the city
will be within $4,000 of its legal in
debtedness limit, 1851 900, margin
some of the councilmen believe is d
little too close to be safe.
There will be no reduction in the
