Acts Promptly for Protection at Railroad Grade Crossings READS DOHONEY REPORT Inspector's Statement Shows 531 Per sons Killed Within Six Years ' Only 1619 of 11,763 '' Places Guarded. (Special Harrlsburg Correspondence.) Harrlsburg The Public Service Commission acted promptly on the recommendations contained In the re port of Investigator Duhoney on grade crossings In the State. After the re port, which was the first of its kind ever made In the State, had been read, the commission immedately Instructed Its Investigator to prepare at once regulations for the safety of travelers Dohoney reported that 114 steam rail roads cross public roads at grade In 11,763 Instances, and of these 10,144 are unprotected. In commenting on the numerous fatal accidents, Mr. Do honey says: "The State Railroad Commission always regretted the fact that It was without Jurisdiction to ef fectively recommend measures that would safeguard the travelers over those thoroughfares, but the Public Service Company law, now in force, gives to the Public Service Commls tlon the power to make such safety reguatlons as the circumstances of the case domand. "The necessity for such supervision Is emphasized by the statement of grade crossing accidents in six years In which 631 persons were killed and 1718 injured. Concerning the matter cf the crossing of steam railroads by street railways, 79 of the 126 electric companies operating in this State cross steam roads at 674 places. Our accident reports show that the utmost care should be exercised at crossings of Oils character, and I suggest that the commission renew the following recommendation made by the State Railroad Commission under date of April 25, 1910: Every street railway car shall, on approaching a grade crossing of a steam railroad track, come to a full stop at a safe distance therefrom and shall not proceed fur ther until the conductor thereof has gone across and signalled the motor man to come ahead."
