BLOCKED STREET
CROSSING HURTS
FERRY BUSINESS

Captain NJ. L. Henderson hied
complaint with the Rock Island
city comm issioners Monday after
noon relative to trains blocking the
Eighteenth street crossing. The
captain is in competition with the
street cars in the operation of the
Rock IslanI-DaEenport ferry, and
be means business, too.
1t was not so clear whether the
captain was complaining because
trains kept people leaving the ferry
from getting up the street or kept
people up the street from getting
to the ferry.
At any rate, the captain declared
that a Milwaukee freight train kept
the Eighteenth street crossing tied
up for SIS minutes Saturday night
The ferry whistle was blown in
protest, but this aided not a whit,
the complainant said.
Mayor Harry NJ. Schriyer prom
ised that notifications would be
sent to the various roads demand
ing that the Eighteenth street
crossing be kept clear excepting
necessary time for trains to pass.
