<br />MORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS & SAFETY
<br />To Mbmbers of the Common Council:
<br />A letter has been received from the Pennsylvania Railroad relative to condition of grade crossings at Calvert
<br />Street, Indiana Avenue and Ewing Avenue, wherein they indicate they will have these crossings inspected promptly
<br />and make whatever repairs are necessary as soon as possible. They, also, indicate that they will handle the
<br />matter of blocking street crossings as they do not want to block crossings unnecessarily for excessive periods of
<br />time.
<br />We are, also, in receipt of a letter from the Grand Trunk Railway System in which they state they have inspected
<br />all six tracks at their grade crossing at Olive and Sample Streets and can find no holes in the pavement. They,
<br />also, state they do not feel their railroad is blocking the crossing for long periods as they have arranged their
<br />switching schedule so they do not switch over Olive and Sample Streets during the time the factories start or end
<br />their 3:00 P.M., 11:00 P.M., or 7:00 A.M., shifts. Their representative will be glad to meet with the city
<br />officials, at any time, to inspect these grade crossings.
<br />The New York Central Railroad system has not, as yet, acknowledged our letter of complaint to them.
<br />Very truly yours,
<br />BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS & SAFETY
<br />By Freda G. Noble, Clerk
<br />Councilman Korpal made a motion that the letter from the Board be held up until the next meeting. Councilman
<br />Bestle seconded the motion. Motion carried.
