and Mrs. Chas. Love- He served his
country in the World War in the

STOP" CROSSING
LAW DISCUSSED
To Lessen Traffic Delays, In
crease Respect for Law, Pro-
mote Safety, Is Aim.

"Stop" should mean STOP, defin-
itely and for everybody, otherwise
stop signs at crossings are of little
value, was the consensus of opinion
at conference of members, of the
State Railroad and Warehouse COM
mission; officials of the State High
way department and railroad officials
held last week.
That large percentage of motor
lists disobey the law requiring stops
at designated crossings is well known,
and the commission listened to sug-
gestions intended to remedy this sit
uation. 1t was recognized that each
crossing presents separate problem
and the commission plans to make
a resurvey and to order changes
where they are found advisable. 1t
was pointed out that there is both an
economic loss and an invitation to
disregard of law when several thou
sand vehicles are compelled to stop
at a crossing where perhaps there
are only a half dozen or dozen
trains a day. The most frequent
violators, it was stated, are people
living near the crossing who are fam
iliar with the train schedules and
who do not like to be compelled to
stop when they think no train is due.
To lessen traffic delays, increase
respect for the law, and promote pub
lie safety, the following suggestions
as conditions warrant:
Substituting automatic signals
which warn of approaching trains.
Masking the "stop" signs dur
ing the hours when a Waterman
is on duty at the crossing.
Abolishing some of the present
stop" crossings where there is a
