CROSSING DANGERS.
NEW SIGNALLING DEVICE. (Fbom Oub Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, July 8. To a question regarding level railway Crossings, Mr Herries replied: “An automatic signalling device for use at level crossings has been designed, and has been undergoing a practical test at Levin during the past three months. Satisfactory results having been achieved, arrangements have been made to install the appliances at various busy-cross-ings as opportunity offers. In view, however, of the heavy cost involved and the fact that the machines have to be manufactured, it will only be possible to equip a fixed number of crossings each year, but the work will be carried on until all tho busier crossings are provided for.”
