A heavy iron post has been inabed-
ded in the pavement at the intersec-
ton of Railroad and Nichols avenues,
in such manner as to make it nee
essary for automobiles to slow up
when turning into these thorough
fares, and to indicate the route to be
followed in making the turn. The
post is surmounted by an electric
light of large candlepower, making it
easily discernible at night. The erec-
ton of this obstruction is wise pre-
caution, since the intersection in ques-
ton is one of the most dangerous in
the city.
