Lock wood, of Chestnut Hill, and Miss .Tulla B. Lear, of Ocrmantown, were Killed leccntly when their automobile was struck bj n Heading train. The commission 1ms also ordered the railway to install nn annunciator at the Itoslyn crossing to nld the watch man there in detecting arrival of trains. The commission's order is in the form of an indorsement of the report of John P. I)ohrne, chief of the accident bu renn, which follows "I 1iiim made nn inspection of some of the rossmgs nt grade on the line of the Philadelphia and Heading Rail way In the ielnlty of Philadelphia, ahd as a result make the following recommendations: "Orelnnd Crossing The protection nt this cioshing is now supplied b an nlnrm bell nnd there should be addi tional protection bv the assignment of n watchman. While normally there is a good view of npproaching trains, Hie highway is crossed by a double track and trains moving in opposite direc tions are likely to create conditions that nrc made misleading by the ringing of a bell. "Hoslyn Crossing The assignment to this place of a day and night watch man This crossing is locnted on the Northeast Penn branch and although the lie is of single-track construction, Iho chnractcr nnd extent of the high way traffic justify protection during the full twentv-four-hour period. The inilrond nt this point is crossed by the fjermantown nnd Willow drove turn pike nnd by the Susquehanna road. On September 20, from 0 n. m. to 0 p. m., the traffic ronsisted of 3!50 pedestrians, fil.r automobiles, forty-fivo motorcycles, fifty bicycles and seventy-six teams. Prom ( p. rn. to 0 n. m. the traffic was 17fi pedestrians, 24 Ti automobile, ten motorcycles, forty-fhc bicvcles and ninety teams. Records of the traol tak'en in September SO nnd on October 1 substantially arc in keeping with these figures In connection with the pro posed protection, I suggest that an an nunciator be provided to notify the watchman of approaching trains."
