THAT DANGEROUS CROSSING.
The Akura railway crossing—the bane of pedestrians, cyclists, and the general vehicular traffic of the roadwas a subject resurrected by the Council of the Cha*nber of Commerce yesterday. Mr A. Henderson said that he thought the crossing was really so dangerous that the Department should delay no longer in doing something to make it safer for users of the road. He suggested a system in vogue in other parts, where iron bars in the nature of gates werg worked from the railway station in the fashion of signals and other contrivances. Mr C. E. Daniell said that something certainly needed doing to render the lives of the public less liable to destruction than was at present the case, especially with the noise surrounding the crossing, Which deadened considarably the noise made by approaching trains. The Chamber decided to make further representations to the Department, after certain correspondence had been looked up.
