THE READING DECISION.

The decision handed down by the
Supreme Court last week, declaring
invalid the ordinance passed by Pleas
antville City Council, limiting the
speed of railroad trains in passing
through this city, while not so surpris-
sing to many Of the City officials, new
ertheless brings home to many citi-
zens the fact that our City fathers are
powerless 10 prevent the recurrence
of the many tragedies enacted at the
grade crossings of railroads passing
through the very heart of the town.
The decision upholds the right OF the
railroads TO speed their trains through
the City, unless they are ordered to
refrain from this practice by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission. Every fatal
accident at these crossings has
brought a protest from Council to the
Public Utility Commission for action
looking to the abatement OF this nul-
sance The City has already expend-
ed a considerable sum of money in
making these appeals. To date, how
ever, they have proven practically
fruitless. The Public Utility Commits
sion usually orders the railroads to
place bells and automatic safety devil
ces at these crossings. Experience
has taught that these devices either do
not correctly function or else the pub
lie does not heed them. We believe
that we are safe in saying that it has
never been the desire of the governing
body TO interfere with the speed OF
these express trains but. rather, that
the ordinance was passed after the
railroad had refused TO place gates
and maintain watchmen at these cross
ings. This is really what the city de-
sires. and what. under the circumstan-

their refusal 10 maintain this safe
guard. Since the establishment of the
