Southern Pacific Again Post
pones Doing Away With
Deadly Grade Crossing
Tho elimination of Uie Tenth street
grade crossings at the fxH of Singer
LIU, otherwise and more fitly known
as Dead Man's Crossing, Is postponed
again for months, possibly years by
the Southern Faciftc railway. Last
w inter the company showed some pret
ty pictures of the roadway down Sing
er hill crossing the railroad tracks by
means of a viaduct, thence by easy l
stages down a steel Incline to Tenth
street.
But they were only pictures. First
the project was held back by avari
cious property holders who actually
"expected the railroad company to pay
them what their property Is worth.
Then It was postponed because of
vast plans for Improvements at Ore
gon City Mr. Harriman was hatching,
and this overhead crossing would be
considered when all the work was
done. It was postponed again Mon
day night at the council meeting,
w hen In answer to an query on the
subject a letter was read from the
powers that be of the S. P. that owing
to other plans, etc., etc., the matter
of doing away with the grade cross
ing at Tenth street was postponed
for several months and possibly
longer.
The company would station a day
flagman at the crossing If council de
sired It. What seems to not only be
desired but Imperatively needed are
gates there and at Moss street also.
There were two other communlca- j
tlons from the S. P. One acknowl
edged the order to have its poles
painted In accordance with city ordi
nance and the other told the necess
ary use of torpedoes and whistle In
the yards at night. These matters
and the crossing question were re
ferred to the special railroad commit
tee. Petition was read asking the Im
provement of Madison street, south
of Third. The grade was given by
City Engineer White. The street com
mittee will Investigate and report at
next meeting of council.
Chris Bluhm was re-elected sexton
of Mountain View cemetery for one
year. John A. Confer was also a can
didate, and for three ballots he and
JBlunm tied with three votes each.
The Mayor then cast the decisive
ballot i'a- favor of Bluhm.

croach upon the street. He says he
will remove them next summer. Re
ferred to street committee.

It was decided to go ahead with re

The matter was referred to a special

to inspect If necessary.
Report on Hose Companies.
The fire and water committee chair
man, A. Knapp, made a written report
of a recent investigation of the con
dition and needs of the hose com
panies.
The Fountains have 12 pieces of
hose in good condition. One cart
axle is bent and should be repaired at
once.
i The Cataracts have 10 pieces of hose
in good condition. The floor is In bad
condition and should bo repaired at
once. A concrete floor Is recommend
ed. A new bell rope was ordered.
Apparatus for drying hose Is inade
quate. Hill company No. 3 has 6 pieces of
hose In good condition, one piece fair
ly good, and two In bad condition.
New coupling should be supplied. One
nozzle tip was missing; nozzle was
found outside. Hose couplings with
out gaskets.
Elyville company has 9 pieces of
hose In good condition and 3 In bad
condition. Two couplings are needed.
Greenpoint has 7 pieces of, hose In
good condition and 2 In bad condition.
Five couplings are needed, and the
cart repaired. The water pressure In
that end of town Is poor. Recommends
a Babcock extinguisher for the house
and one of the old fire bells hung.
In general It Is found that all com
panies except the Cataracts should
have additional hose, a roof or shed
be erected for the sprinkling cart,
and towers for hose drying should be
built.
ASKS CITY TO FOOT BILL.
The presenting of a claim for $694
to the city council Wednesday night
resiled the terrible accident on Four-i-t-ntn
street last fall, when two men
were sa badly crushed as they were
driving under the Southern Pacific
railway.
Wm. A. Spencer was a young man
working for Ed Barrett of Rdland.
They were coming Into town shortly
after noon on Monday November 20,
with a load of baled hay and attempt
ed to drive under the railway where
it crosses Fourteenth street. They
miscalculated the helghth and both
. men were badly hurt, crushed between
the top of their load and the trestle
beams. Both were unconscious but
Spencer's injuries proved the worst.
He was takn to St. Vincent's hospital
and according to his claim he has
been a great sufferer ever since. His

reason he attempts to hold the city
responsible is his claim that the road
