The complaint made by J. A. Stiles against the L. I. R. R. Co. to the Pub¬ lic Service Commission regarding the dangerous school crossing at Bedford avenue, in Bellmore has resulted in the following letter from President Ralph Peters of the Railroad Company. It is now up to the Public Service Commis¬ sion to issue the order. Doubtless there will be few complaints from resi¬ dents against the bell and guard fence.

Albany, N, Y. Gentlemen:—
Referring to the complaint of Mr. James Stiles against this company as to the crossing at Bedford avenue, Bellmore/gand also to the question of erecting a fence between the tracks at Bellmore station:
We have made a careful investiga¬ tion of this complaint, and we feel that it is justified and that both requests be complied with. We have, however, in the past, had serious complaint from our patrons against fences between ti-acks, and also against the electric alarm bells at the crossings and before we comply with the requests, we would suggest that the Commission issue an order to the railroad company to put up the fence, and also install the bell.
Awaiting further advice from the Commission on this matter, we are. Very truly yours, (Signed) Ralph Peters, Pres. and Gen. Mgr.
A copy of the above letter has been received by the editor of this newspa¬ per who expresses the hope that little or no delay will be made in getting the bell and fence which will safeguard these platforms and the lives of little ones and others using the crossing.

His pitching was superb and this in spite of an injury received while imnning to second. Roosevelt used two pitchers, Abrams and Gillman.

Gentlemen:— Referring to the complaint of Mr. James Stiles against this company as to the crossing at Bedford avenue, Bellmore/gand also to the question of erecting a fence between the tracks at Bellmore station: We have made a careful investiga¬ tion of this complaint, and we feel that it is justified and that both requests be complied with. We have, however, in the past, had serious complaint from our patrons against fences between ti-acks, and also against the electric alarm bells at the crossings and before we comply with the requests, we would suggest that the Commission issue an order to the railroad company to put up the fence, and also install the bell. Awaiting further advice from the Commission on this matter, we are. Very truly yours, (Signed) Ralph Peters, Pres. and Gen. Mgr. A copy of the above letter has been received by the editor of this newspa¬ per who expresses the hope that little or no delay will be made in getting the bell and fence which will safeguard these platforms and the lives of little ones and others using the crossing.
