J W hat X en ia C itizens Say | • At a meeting' of council Monday night a representa- | five of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company made the | statement that electric, signals Were displacing watchmen I a t crossings for twenty-four hour signal service, Xenia I was cited as the closest city to adopt the new system.' In | order, that local people might have some idea o f what is | proposed and how it is meeting with approval in Xenia | we interviewed some twenty-five business men and.well- | known citizens to .ge t their vidws as the new system has I been in operation for several weeks, | , We were much surprised to find so much opposition | to the present system in Xenia, in fact-not a person inter- | viewed came out flatly for the electric signal. Here are i a few of the answers to our question as to what each | thought of the change. 1 “The electric signal at West Market streefrhas set up I a perfect death trap.” | “The biggest mistake the present city commission | has yet made.” 1 “Positively no protection now to school children.” | “Impossible to know when signal at West Market is in 1 operation with sun shining late in afternoon. 1 “With trucks and wagons parked in front of Farmers' | Exchange Elevator public has no chance to see signal I that displaced watchman.” „ I “City must next demand that trains be slowed down | with present signal devlce.V | “If Cedarville has a watchman, don’t trade him for I Something you know nothing about.” | “Some city and railroad officials have already ad- | mitted that present system was a sad mistake and gives 1 the public little protection." | “One accident has alr< 2 “Present electric signs.., ..... „ctLCJL IU | six months than present ones at Trebine crossing, which 8 are a joke.” | “With Sunday traffic on West Market street and a | fa s t train coming first auto has no chance but to go on as he cannot back with traffic behind him. He must go to the edge of the track before he can see the danger owing to factory^buildings,” , “Railroad engineers regard present device as worth little or nothing in comparison to watchman,” “Twenty-four hour service is the bait. Why sacrifice 90 per cent of the traffic to danger through the day to protect a few drunks getting home after midnight when the majority of folks are in bed.” , “Xenia has accepted the responsibility of accidents m permitting electric signals at crossings rather than have the railroad held responsible by having a watchman under its control.” i “Unless some other system is used to displace the new electric signal which the public has no confidence in the City Commission will be compelled to slow down the fast trains,” *T would not give the West Main street watchman and Market street gate for all the signal devices on the entire Pennsylvania system.” The new system is protection for the railroad com#* pany m court but little or no protection to the traveling public.” ■ v t i, : t i i V i •With i ■w %• 'W /
