Hubin Writes on Grade Crossings.
Editors Pleasantville Press

Editors PIeaSantVllle PreSS:-
Some years ago a delegation got to-
eether and ~journeyed to Trenton and
appeared before the Public Utilities
Commission regarding the two death
traps that are right in the centre of
our progressive city. The railroad
wanted to eliminate these death traps,
but our chairman, who acted as
spokesman for our delegation, said
the people of Pleasantville were sat
isfied with the present conditions. If
the citizens of Pleasantville remem-
Der, | offered a vigorous protest and
insisted on viaducts over each rail
road crossing. Since then eight or
ten lives have been blotted out and
again call the attention of the citizens
of Pleasantville to the great danger in
having these two death traps right in
the centre of our progressive city. |
also submitted a plan to eliminate
these death traps to the chief engi-
neer of both the Pennsylvania and
Reading Railroads, and they wanted
to go ahead and depress their tracks
and have our streets cross them with
a viaduct, which would do away with
all the danger. Then again, who ever
heard OF trains running through a
city at the rate of 60 to 80 miles an
hour? With the wonderful growth of
our city and with the new Delaware
River Bridge and White Horse Pike
paved, we must look for greatly in
creased travel and we all must get
busy and insist upon the railroads
doing away with their death traps.

EXPRESS
DEALS DEATH
MRS. ANNA E. MEREDITH, LOCAL
RESIDENT, STEPPED IN PATH
OF READING TRAIN, BETWEEN
MAIN STREET AND NEW ROAD
AND INSTANTLY KILLED.
DEFECTIVE HEARING, CAUSE

Stepping directly in front of a
Reading express train that was MAX
ing a speed of about rs miles an hour,
Mrs. Anna E. Meredith, of this city,
was instantly killed shortly before 5
O'Clock Saturday night. She had star
ted to cross the double tracks at Sec
ond street just as the train which
leaves Camden at 40 p. m. n is
one of the fastest of the Reading
hiers, was due. Mrs. Meredith was
very deaf and apparently did not hear
the roar of the express as it bore
down upon her. When struck the
force was SO great that the upper
part of her body and all her clothing
was torn into shreds.
The engineer of the train applied
the brakes and brought the fier to a
stop about a mile from the accident
and when he backed the train to
where the woman had been struck it
was necessary to pick up a part of
the body in pieces. The body from
the hips down was not so badly torn.
1t was placed aboard the train and
taken to Atlantic City. County Ply
stefan Souder decided that nc inquest
was necessary and the body was then
returned here for interment.
Some people standing at Main st.
and looking up the tracks saw Mrs.
Meredith as she started down the
high embankment to cross the tracks
and it was then remarked that the
woman would be killed as the people
knew the express was just about due
to come around the curve above the
~elertric light plant. When the engine
appeared the oma seemed to walk
directly in front of it.
Mrs. Meredith was a housekeeper
for William Terry, who lives on Third
street, neal the scene of the accident.
She left the house and was going into
the business part of the city. Many
people have a habit of crossing the
Reading tracks at Second street, but
it is not a highway. Mrs. Meredith
is survived by a husband, who Is a
sailor and is at present somewhere
on the ocean. Last summer he was
employed on the Atlantic avenue troll
leys, in Atlantic City. She also has
two sol who live in Philadelphia
and a daughter who resides in Chica-
60.
