Twenty Miles Maximum.
STATE SEEKS SAFETY
AT GRADE CROSSINGS
Public Service Commission
Starts Movement for
Conference With Traffic
Executives Upon Sug-
geStion of Governor

Railroads will be warned to stop
speeding Of trains inside city limits
Police Chief Herman F. Rikhoff an
nounced today.
At the same time the public serv-
ice commission announced that by
direction of Governor Emmett F.
Branch it has started a movement
to lessen grade crossing accidents
in the State.
Commissioner Frank Singleton
was placed in charge. He said he
will send invitations to a confer
ence IN the fall to railroad. interur
ban, bus and motor club executives
and others interested. Means of
lessening the crossing danger will
be discussed and the best sugges-
tions carried out.
Governor Branch's action is the
result of numerous requests for aid
in solving the problem. The chief
factor was a letter from the Ameri-
can Association of Railroad Superin-
tendents favoring State laws requir-
ing drivers of pleasure and business
cars to come TO a full stop within
100 feet of any grade crossing.
Code Is Violated
Reports of emergency sergesnts
upon recent accidents in which
pedestrians and au. onobiles were
struck at crossings show violations
of sections 975 to $50 of municipal
code. Rikhoff said. Engineers ap-
parently were unaware that they
were violating the speed law. Rik-
hoff said, because they have admit
ted they were running their trains
far faster than city law permits.
Maximum speed permitted inside
city limits is twenty miles an hour.
In many accidents engineers have
said they were going as fast as
thirty-five miles and forty miles an
hour, police reports show.
The chief said he would write let
ters to rail officials reminding them
of the train speed regulations and
warning that if there are further
violations police will be instructed
/ 10 arrest tralnmen.
City in Three Districts
The train speed ordinance divides
the city into districts as follows:
No. l, territory bounded by
Georgia, Delaware and Maryland
| Sts. and Senate Ave. in which train
speed limit is ten miles an hour.
No. 2, territory bounded by Twen'
ty-First St., State Ave, Morris and
Prospect SITS. and Belmont Ave. in
which the limit is fifteen miles an
| hour.
No 8, all other territory inside city
limits in which speed limit is twenty
miles an hour.
Trains running on elevated or sub
way tracks are excepted from the
ordinance. Penalty is not more than
5000 fine, to which may be added not
more than ten days imprisonment.
