Co. to abolish gates at railroad crossings and to replace them with "Wig Wag" System, which is an automatic electrical swinging device suspended about fifteen feet from the ground like the on~ at the 4th and Lin· den Avenue cfossing of the .North Shore Line. This resolution was vigorously opposed by Trustee Paul Hoffman, and it passed temporarily. You can express your feelings in the coming Village Election. . . ... . The C. & N. W. Ry. Co.. Employs The Village of Berwyn three ,?Den (wor~ing eight hours each per day) at every gate, and the saving would . be an important ttem. tried the Wig Wag. System, but so many accidents occurred that the Village com· pelled the Railroad Co. to restore the gates. l Who Is Responsible for the Resolution?
