Sen. Phil Lowry Appeals to PUC To Hold Hearing State Sen. Philip B. Lowry has appealed to th Public Utilities commissioner to hold a hearing on the speed and safety practices of Southern Pacific trains in Medford. His action, made in the form of a letter May 16, was taken the same day the Medford city coun cil passed a resolution requesting the same thing. Previously, the Public Utilities commissioner's office has stated that a request from an official source would be sufficient to cause a hearing to be called. Senator Lowry's letter referr ed to the fatal accident several days ago at the Stewart ave. railroad crossing. He said, "I am sure I speak for all of the peo ple in Jackson county .when I say that some action should be taken to avoid a repetition of this tragic situation. He added: "It appears that the Southern Pacific company is authorized to operate their trains at the Stew art crossing at a speed of 35 miles per hour, Which, in my opinion, is far too high in view of the hazards presented at this particular intersection. This has become one of the" most congest ed in Jackson county, and Stew art -ave. crosses the railroad tracks at a point between two railroad sidings, where exten sive switching operations are in progress. Traffic proceeding east on Stewart ave, must cross this raised grade crossing just a few feet before entering Highway 99, where traffic is regulated by control signals. , "In my opinion, all of these facts would cause any reasonable person to conclude that this is an extra hazardous and extremely perilous crossing. Because of the geographical location of the in tersection, the only way to re duce the traffic hazard, without going to an overpass, is to make sure that any train approaching the crossing shall travel at a J very low rate of speed."
