Monday decifired Alderan Thomas Glinnan Monday after the A I crossing tragedy when 15 persons were killed I introduced in the council an ordinance providing that all freight trains backing over grade crossings between sundown and sunrise should be equipped with apparatus for air whistling like passenger trails and that a man should be on the rear end signaling for every crossing and further that as the train approached a crossing one man should walk 30 feet ahead of the train to the crossing the train to slow down suffi ciently to permit this of this was done With such precaptions an accident would be practically impossible Like the rest of our ordinances it was a dead letter And unless safety ordinances are enforced going to have more accidents because grades cannot be separated in a day or a month This ordinance was introduced and passed especially to guard against accidents until all our crossings were on separate Aiderman Glinnan further said that he might personally seek the application of the penalty provisions of his ordinance in case nothing resulted from the expected councilmanic and the prose investigations Twenty firt Ward Men orm Club to Watch Political Matters Rev
