IIIIIIIIIIIII III , IIIIIIIs II IIIIIII Superintendent Copley dives An Estimation oi Their tlee The flag signals which were formerly used by the steam road, are now being used by allelectric roads throughout the state. Superintendent Charles A. Copely gave a discrlptlon of the sig- nals yesterday upon request. A red fling two feet at the side of the truck means for the trolley to come to a dead stop. as there is danger ahead. ‘Ai wait of five minutes must then be? our and then the conductor proceeds ahead on foot to the cause of trouble or find the man who placed the ting where it was found. Then he may re turn to the our and proceed with the. some to the scene of trouble and trans- fer his passengers if possible around Ilu- trouble to another car. A red flag hanging on the overhead: wires means that there is danger at the point where it is hanging and the conductor Inuot pull the pole off the: wire until the obstruction has bcen‘ passed. A yellow flag at the side of the track means for the car to come to a stop and then to proceed with caution. at It slow rate of sliced. A green flag waving from the forel ward end of a car signifies that anoth- or car is following and each succeed his car will carry one. until the last one, which will display no ling whab over. This latter case is well-known hero booaueo of the numerous cars' utilized on the main line in the sum- mer. and the sign is very necessary . because of the length of aingio track and the switches, which are funny. III the night the corresponding colors in lights act in the some way an the flags by day. Formerly a rod flag on front of a car told of another following. instead of a green one, which does this work now. _ ' ‘ i W anIrIIe IIIIn IIIIIIIIIaII nun lllliilllllllilEI Tillldfi'l‘li'l, Antitrln, “June lbw-'5 atom of hurricane force raged during the night, catislngimauy deaths, and much damage to rahitiplum III’Ilnriy to- day the bodies of twenty .vlctlme had bile" rooovsredat‘this point alone. ,.

They were not convinced by Commltloomsn John F.

Many believe that ii is poor buoineas judgment to lay out any more money on additions or on the old schools in the way of providing for more rooms, when ultimately a new school will be necessary. As was atol- ed at the meeting by Dr. Henry C. Bhomr, they are of the opinion that the Franklin school assembly hall could be used. temporarily, the same no it was at the time the addition was built on the Franklin school At that time the class of over fifty pupils and teachers worked under greater disad- vatnagcs than it Would at the precept time. by reason of the fact that the operations of tho carpenter: and other workmen in the front addition disturb ed the quiet of the hall to such an extent that during certain periods it was lmponalblo for the rocltatlous to be held.
