It was the 5.42 train to Salem and there were many passengers who rode simply to be among the first to ride over the new road, which does away with, one of the most dangerous grade crossings in the city. For nearly a y-ear this section of the road, the last of the lines to be elevated by the company, has been in course of construction. It was necessarj' to build what is known as a "skew bridge," owing to the position in which it crossed Haddon avenue. Thousands of tons of concrete were used. This line was formerly known as the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, and at the point where it crosses the avenue it has been known to generations as Starr's Crossing.

It was especially dangerous in summer time, wnen hundreds of farmers were compelled to pass the railroad tracks on their wa to market with truck. Many accidents, some of tneni fatal, have occurred at that point. Council Hits Treating Habit Special to The Inquirer. HAMMOXTO.N, N. March 14.
