Railroader Says Extra Crew Won't Prevent Wrecks
A New Jersey legislature debate on a three man cab bill follows a Central Railroad wreck at Wenfield. Railroad officials, engineers, and workers argue that adding a second or third man would divide attention, increase risk, and not reduce collisions. An experienced engineer notes the cab layout and human fallibility make extra crew a poor remedy, referencing the years old Mud Roo disaster to illustrate the futility of such measures.

Morris Canal Opens Season and Related Developments
The Morris Canal opened for the season with water supply released last Friday and boats loading at Park Delaware last week. Lehigh Valley Company expected to carry more coal via the route this year due to lower terminal handling costs. Repairs on canal plane No 11 headed toward the Delaware River at Phillipsburg, possibly to facilitate transfers with Lehigh. Laborers at the repair site were notified of a ten cent per day wage increase. Also noted is the Lackawanna Summer Book for 1908, highlighting a novel romance and mountain lake descriptions, with stamps from the Pantenger Department in New York. The Outlook magazine’s April issue features illustrated articles including Mr. Stewart White’s The Forest, with art by Thomas Fogarty, and reminiscences about Alva Batvi, by J. S. Crallin.
