SAYS
BY NAL BOYLE

NEW YORK Rf-James Lemley
IS railroad engineer who has
driven trains two million miles il
nearly 40 years and never hit 8
m0tOrist.
I've just been lucky" he said,
Ills record ic unusual. Almost
equally unusual is the fact that IN
travelling q distance equal TO 81
Trips around the world nGne OF
bis trains has ever been hit by a
m0t0rist. For in about One-third OF
the nations grade crossing acci.
| dents it is the motor car that
crashes into the train.
Il sure would like tC keep my
record said Lemley, a, gent,
man of GO who reiires next Sep
iember. But these accidents art
up to the motorist. How can you
make them comply with the red
warning lights? A train can't ge.
off the track"
The railroads for some years
have waged an intensive safety
campaign tC reduce grade cross
ing disasters, which account TO;
about 5 per cent of all auto fatal
ties.
To see the prol lem from an en-
gineer's standpoint l rode in hi
cab the other day with Lemley
He pilots the Baltimore and Ohio
crack passenger train, ''The Rcya
Blue" from Washington, d. c., tt
Jersey City, N. j.
The Scar train is pulled by {
4 900 horsepower diesel locomotive
and reaches a speed of 70 to 80
miles an hour in the 223- mile trip.
1t turned out that the chief pre-
lens Of Lemley and his fireman
were to see that the track was
clear--and to warn motorists.
There are about 200 grade
crossings along the way" Lemley
said. Exactly 1000 feet before each
crossing stood a concrete whistle
post. AT each post Lemley tugged
four times G1 the whistle cord
two longs, short, and another
long. And the whistle--it is really
a horn--moaned with sound au.
dible for miles.
"rhe train bel riars before each
crossing, too" explained the en-.
gineer. But the send travels for
ward and you can't hear il here
in the cab"

CRY COMMISSIONERS CAN'T TALK
ABOUT UNFAMILIAR QUESTIONS

'9 "Be prepared the Boy Scout slogan, applies to
many things fe and among them is subject brougnt
up for discussion Nobody talk ntegently concern
ing anything he knows nothing about and is because
that truth that City Commissioner has requested The
Citizen to publish an editorial about the sudden ntroduc
on of questions by the public at City Hall meetings with
which the commissioners are not familiar.
The Commissioner in question said every member OF
the board anxious the public and in an effort
10 attain that end invites comment suggestions or COM
-plants the meetings But he added. in good many
cases. somebody complains about this that and leaves
the Commissioners flafooted because they know little
nothing about the matter which they asked TO act
Such pop out of the box' questions which i'm
mediate decisions are sometimes demanded often have
caused delays commission meetings The commissioner
suggests that any Key Wester, who has complaint he
ushes air public questions write to the commission,
explaining his complaint that investigation be
ade and date set TO discuss the mAtter Such letter.
il was pointed out not only will time but also put
Tie commissioners in position to learn the details Of the
complaint the suggestion, the may be-
si Acting without notice not only applies to the City
Commission but TO the County Commission also. Many
time delegation from place the upper Keys has
appeared at County Commission meeting to request
ton on something with which the Commissioners were
unfamiliar. As result committee had TO be appointed
to investigate the question and set date for the deega
ons temperance before the commission That incon-
ucnience could have been avoided had the delegation
written the Commissioners and given them an opportuni
ty TO make an investigation.
Too often also particularly at City Commission
meetings time has been wasted by men in the audience
talking in scntan generalities sometimes tinged with
politics Many meeting has gone on till midnight or
later by play Of words that were OF concern To the
ssS's welfare.
Commissioners city and county arc public servants
but tha circumstance does not justify waste of their
time in useless talk.
