It was not a railway matter only—it was a Dominion matter. If the Railway Department had to erect bridges or construct subways at all ilangerou3 crossings in the Dominion, the cost to the Dominion would be enormous, and li(' did not think that at this stage in the Dominion's history we should go in for this large exponditui nSLl'tme'if .wore <l(ii]icr amguard wore putting up eicc just, now they had great difficulty in obtaining material, all electrical supplies being now very diliiicult to procure. An additional precaution adopted was the erection of more conspicuus warning-boards than those previously in use. placed some distance from •a crossing, in order that motorists and other road travellers new to the locality would know of possible danger. JJe d that the Department could not attempt to select the most dangerous crossings and deal with them. The most igerous crossings should be those in „, „'ns, because they were used by the greatest number of people; but most of the accidents occurred in outlying' places.
