CORPORATE GREED.
The lllg Four Ituilwajr Company Show
It Contemplated Kroiiomv A J'rob
ahle Keqilel To The Wadsworth Case.
It is well known in this community
that the Big Four Company have been
compelled by the courts to pay Mrs. L.
H. Wadworth for injuries sustained by
her, (2250, besides the costs in the
case. How much the costs amount to
we do not know, but it is probably a
good round sum. It seems now to be
the policy of the railroad company
to get their money back as near where
they lost it as possible. The scheme
now being considered by them is a rad
ical curtailing of their necessary ex
penses at tli is point, The first proposi
tion being to remove the watchman at
West Main Street Crossing, and put in
an alaim bell to be operated by the
operator at the target. When they
came to look over the situation, the
operator was found to be so far away
that he could not be expected to see
the situation of things at that crossing.
The latest scheme is to do away with
the watchmen at both West Main and
North Main crossings, also remove the
gates at North Main and remove the
telegraph office to West Main Crossing,
and have the operator attend to both
crossings by means of electric bells.
This little scheme would do away with
the services of two men, and be a mat
ter of about pV) per month saved to the
company, There is one thing in the
way of the working of this plan, and
that is an ordinance of the council of
the village of Wellington, which would
have to be repealed ih order to leave
the council at liberty to adopt their
dans. It is to be hoped that the coun-
il will see the point and not be hum
bugged into the repeal of an ordinance
which is highly satisfactory in its
warkings. The people of Wellington
are well satisfied with the signal safety
service at these two crossings and de
sire no change, especially for the
worse. The scheme of the R. R. Co.
is impract'cable, because of the danger
to people going north on Main Street,
whose view of trains approaching from
the south at breakneck speed is entire
ly shut off by buildings, and no amount
of ringing of an electric bell would
suflice to absolutely prevent harm
from being done. We sincerely hope
that no change of this kind may be
effected, and that our city council will
nsist upon the situation remuining as
it is at present.
