25. A three-tier grade separation crossing, said to be one of very few to be found In the West, was put Into operation this morning at Tide street when the San Diego Electric Railway Company ran its first cars over the viaduct which spans the tracks the Santa Fe Railway, which, in turn passes over a subway for automobile traffic. The project which cost $300,000 will eliminate a three-fold hazard, as formerly both street railway and vehlciivc.r traffic crossed the Santa Fe tracks at Tide street. Construction of the triple crossing was necessitated by the growing traffic congestion at Tide street which followed the development of the Loma Portal, Ocean Beach and Mission Beach sections last summer. The cost was borne equally by the traction company and Santa Fe Railway.

In order to route traffic away from the railroad tracks it was necessary to excavate under the Santa Fe's right of way for an automobile road. Several obstacles were encountered, one being water seepage, as the subway at its lowest point was below sea level, A concrete roadway twenty-seven Inches thick was laid and pumps installed to drain off the water. The street-railway viaduct extends for 1000 feet on each side of the railroad tracks. About half of the entire length of the viaduct has beon earth filled.

Taking advantage of a little-known section oX the law, Charles Frankish, aged Ontario business man, and his pretty bride, Sari Frankish, were married at Ontario on the night of January 13 without marriage license. The ceremony was read by Rev. John R. Hunter, pastor of the Westmoreland New Jerusalem Church of Los Angeles, and so far as Is known. It Is the first "11-censeless" marriage in the history Sf the county.

In lieu of a marriage license, certificates of a marriage contract were drawn by Attorney O. N. Hilton of Ontario and a copy was recorded in the files of the church by Rev. Hunter, making the ceremony legal in the eyes of the California laws. It was the second wedding of Frankleh and his attractive bride within the past six months.

In August, 1924, the couple were wed at Ventura and, on December 6, an estrangement occurred, Frankish later filing suit in the Superior Court to annual the marriage on the grounds that his wife was the legal mate of George S. Bufflng-ton of Springfield, when the Ventura ceremony was performed. Replying to the suit, Mrs. Frank-ish asserted she had been j'voivcd in July, 1924, and wsj free 19 marry in August, when she l. came the wife of Frank.
