CROSS NG GUARD
ON P. &JLORDERED
Servico Board Demands Watch
man at Oreland and Annun
ciator at Roslyn
HEAVY TRAFFIC AT 2 POINTS
The Public Service Commlssinn has
tfidercd the Heading Itailunv to station
watchmen nt the Oreland grade cros
lnt, where Jliss Elizabeth D. 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."

New schedules will be inaugurated

Trains nt these points will be shifted
from one trnck to another nnd sent

howcier, the dispensary has been open

medical scientists for its valuable work
in not only aiding victims of tubercu
losis in their struggle for life, but also
in educating the public in precautionaiy
measures to lessen spread of the disease.
