WATCHMEN NOW
AT CROSSINGS
After Many Accidents Railroads
Place Flagmen at Three DAN
gerOus New Road Spots.
Many Deaths Resulted

After many accidents had resulted
and quite a few deaths occurred as a
result, the West Jersey and Seashore
and Atlantic City Railroads have con
scented to place crossing watchmen at
dangerous grade crossings on the New
Road here and at Absecon, and also at
the Doughty Road crossings. 1t took
a bad accident and six deaths to get
the desired protection for these cross
ings. 1t was not until the Stratton
family was wiped out by a train that
the crossings were amply protected.
James Mayberry, chief OF the bureau
of railroads of the Public Utilities
Commission, recently notified County
Physician Louis r. Souder that the
watchmen We're to be maintained at
the dangerous crossings. This was
done, it was reported, after an investi-
cation. Just why an investigation was
necessary to get the watchmen was
not explained. Mr.. Mayberry testified
before the Coroner's inquest at Abse-
con, when the Stratton deaths were
under investigation, that his depart
ment was fully advised at all times of
the condition of all crossings in this
vicinity; that they had note of new
buildings and other crossing obstruc-
tons and made frequent inspections
of the crossings. He said, however,
that the inspections were made by
passing through on trains.
1t has been a long time since Pro-
lessor E. d. Riley, of Absecon, was
struck here, and also a long time since
a party was struck and n of the
party died as a result of the accident.
The Utilities Chief announces that
the crossing watchmen will be main
tanned until the color light signals,
ordered installed at the crossings, can
be put up. The Utilities Board does
not favor safety gates at grade cross
ings, as Mayberry testified before the
Stratton inquest that many of the ac-
cidents at grade crossings occurred
where there were safety gates,

He started his round of the bases and

Gegan went in and soon came out
again. Then, after a consultation
Smith, took the mound, and he proved
the best twirler of the day for the

the game was ragged, the last half
was a fine exhibition of ball playing.

No Ward Division
For Corbin City
Increase in Building Operations
Hats Movement to Re-eS-
tablish Division Lines.

The Atlantic County Board of Elec-
lions did not meet as scheduled at
Corbin City for the purpose of re-es-
tablishing the division line of the Sec
ond Ward. 1t was proposed to give
a portion of the First Ward to the
Second Ward, so that the vote of the
entire city would be more nearly
equalized this fall. There were only
twenty-five votes registered in the
Second Ward for the recent municipal
election.
However, recent events have made
it unnecessary to make the new diyis-
ion. The Homestead Development
Company has plotted out 1000 build
ing lots in the Second Ward of Cor
bin City, and already over 200 of the
lots have been sold. Five of the lots
have already been built on and other
houses are soon to be erected. The
increase in population of this part of
the city will give the Second Ward
many more votes by the time of hold
ing the primary election m round.
The County Election Board will hold
a meeting on July % at Longport in
connection with a special election to
be held there to fill the Office of
Mayor, made vacant by the death of
the Mayor some time ago.
The County Board will also meet
early in July to re-organize. At that
time Clarence Petit, of Atlantic City,
will take his seal as a member of the
board, to succeed William Charlton,
Democratic member. William Hauen-
stein will be reelected as president
of tho hoard and Harry IOyett will
again be made the secretary. The re-
organization will probably take place
some day next week.

noon with outdoor games and also had
a six O'Clock dinner, after which they
spent the evening with indoor sports.
On Saturday the members OF the
Game Preserve enjoyed a semi-month-
ly outing at the grounds. There was
a baseball game during the afternoon.
Trap-shooting was also INDUCED in
