Gates 10 Go Down At Yakima Ave Crossing
City authorities vow action to improve safety at the grade crossing of Yakima avenue and the Northern Pacific tracks. An earlier practice of lowering only one pair of gates caused confusion and near misses when trains pass and vehicles await clearance. A freight train backing across the avenue prompted a near accident when a light buggy driven by a woman crossed the tracks as the eastern gates lowered. The engineer applied full power to stop the train, and though the buggy was grazed, no one was hurt. The western gates remained up during the incident, and City Attorney Allen was asked for guidance.
