Show Planking Crossings The action of the City Council on Tuesday evening in taking steps looking to the plankins of all the streets crossings where intersected by railroad tracks is most timely The idea should at once be executed as there are some places where the streets are spoiled on account of the many tracks which cross them This is particularly the case with the street south of the depot block where it is in about as bad a fix as possible It will be working no hardship I hard-ship on the railroads to insist on i the tracks being planked where they cross the streets and it is supposed the companies will keep them in good condition The Street car company has alreadyput down excellent plank crossings on some streets though nardly wide enough and is still doing so It is simply a matter of Justice to the public whose vehicles are being damaged and will cost but a trifling amount to the companies interested |
