Legislation of some sort or an
other is expected at the coming ses
sion with respect to grade crossings
over railroad tracks. In a large num
ber of cases these crossings, located
and built when horse-drawn traffic
was the rule, prove dangerous when
automobiles use them. The legisla
tures of the past have sought to give
the state railway commission author
ity over these, but it has not proved
to be effective.
The commission has struck a num- j
her of snags in this work. It has
found a curious state of public opin
ion in most cases where the expense j
of removing dangerous conditions ;
was considerable. Farmers and bui-j
ness men have taken the ground that
all of thp expense of making them
safe should be borne by the railroad
company, in spite of the fact that
the county originally located the
highway and that the railroads havo
in the past built the crossings as
ordered by local boards.
The commission has. in such cases,
refused to order the railroad to stand
all of the expense to make the roa-i
safe for fast auto traffic. It did this
because the courts were certain to
overturn them, and they have sought
by pacific means to get a safe road.
They have been successful in some
cases, but not all. Other states have
laws which empower the state com
mission to order a highway crossing
made safe, and which distribute the
share of the cost between the rail-,
road, the state and the county.
In one case where investigation I
disclosed that rounding off the sides'
of the banks that made the crossing
dangerous the city officials refused
to incur the expense of about $50
that would have cleaned up the whole
situation. The railroad spent several
hundred dollars to make it possible
to see about 2u0 feet of the track
when if the city had cut off some
more the view would have been of
about 400 feet of track. In another
case the adjoining landholder sought
i to impose ridiculous conditions be
fore he would allow the shoulder of
his hills to "tie cut away so as to
get rid of a deathtrap. j
i In another case the commission
issued an order apportioning the cost j
;of making a dangerous crossing safe, i
;the railroad paying about two-thirds.

As the Curtain is drawn back and we
welcome 1925, we are hoping today
that it will be a good year for you and
if, by any act of ours we can make it a
better year for you, we shall be glad of
the opportunity.
The old year was good to us in many
ways and as we recount tho33 experi
ences of 1924 we find much for which
to f el thankful.
To all our patrons, wherever you may
be, we extend our thanks and express
the hope that 1925 will be ona of great
happiness, health and prosperity.
ers to clean and disinfect
promptly when unloading them.
"We have today aided the Chicago
poultry board in securing an agree
ment with the city health authorities
to place no embargo on live poultry
shipments from Nebraska."
Governor Bryan said he was grat
ified to note the steps being taken
to remove the conditions which have
caused healthy poultry to become
diseased during shipment. He again
urged that shippers in Nebraska take
every precaution for the protection
of their fowls.
C. W. James of Falls City thinks
the New York authorities are. dis
criminating against live poultry
shipper by allowing cargoes of
dressed poultry to enter that mar
ket, while keeping out the live. He
suggests that a sick live bird could
easily be detected, but this would
be difficult if it were killed and
dressed.
Setting out loaded poultry cars en
route to market and letting them
stand on track during such weather
as this is sure to cause a large mor
tality among the fowls, the Falls
City can declares. The cars are open
and the birds, which were taken
out of warm buildings to be shipped
have virtually no shelter from the
frigid blasts of winter. Many of them
will freeze to death, though per
fectly healthy, he asserted. No con
sideration appears to have been given
the question of humane treatment
and handling of the birds.

chickens to be worth about $4,000

SPEAKING ABOUT USEFUL
tma

An admission from the Live Poul
try Transit Co. that some of its cars
recently furnished to shippers in
Nebraska for sending live birds to
market were not properly cleaned
and fumigated after previous ship
ments is contained in a telegram
forwarded from its Chicago head
quarters, to Governor Bryan, in re
ply to his message of two days ago.
The company denies, however, that
dead fowls were left in the cars until
they were placed on track at Ne
braska points to be reloaded. It as
sures Governor Bryan that all cars
are now being cleaned and subjected
to sanitary processes before they
come to Nebraska, and that instruc
tions have been given to have those
already here put into good sanitary
condition.
Information which the governor
has received from several poultry
dealers in this state is that cars
supplied as empties for loading and
shipping came with considerable
dirt and filth in them and in some
chickens in the cages, which em
ployes of the company had not taken
the trouble to remove.
"Upon further investigation we
find that a few of our cars are now
in Nebraska without having been
cleaned." says the wire from Chi
cago. "But our records show the
dead fowls were removed thereform.
These cars got away from us in
December before the disease de
veloped, but none have since.
"Kindly give us the facts brought
to your attention in order that we
may locate the guilty party.
