OBSERVATION OF
CROSSING LAWS
URGED BY DOWNS
Automobilists are urged by Presi¬
dent L. A. Downs of the Central of
Georgia Railway to observe the new
Georgia law requiring them to come
to a complete stop at dangerous
grade crossings, as well as other
regulations to promote safety.
In an interesting statement, Mr.
■
Downs points out that last year 2,-
149 people kiUed rade ,
were at £ cross ' I
ings, in spite of every precaution j
taken by the railways.
President Downs says that the
railways are constantly becoming
Bafcr for those who work on them and
those who ricJe on their trains. In
proof of this, he submits statements
that, while passenger traffic and the
number of railway employes have
both trebled in the past thirty-six
years, passenger fatalities have been
decreased fifty-three per cent and
fatalities twenty-six per
On the contrary, grade cross¬
fatalities, which are beyond the
of the railroads but are with
the control of the public, have in
„ , four „ , hundred , , and thirty-five
cent.
Employes of the Central of Georgia
pledged themselves to set an
to the public by observing
Laws, and the head of the Cen
appeals to the people generally
co-operate. The Georgia law re¬
quires motorists to stop at crossings
designated as dangerous, and to re¬
duce speed to six miles per hour at
all other crossings. Tennessee and
North Carolina have Stop Laws, and
a movement is on foot to enact simi
lar legislation in Alabama. i
Mr. Downs points out that motor
'-sts observe regulations for “Boule
var, l Stops”, One-Way Streets”, no
