RAILWAY CROSSINGS.
The bill [S. 12] to allow farmers to construct crossings over railway right of ways was read the third time.
Mr. HOPKINS: There are many instances where railways refuse to let farmers construct crossings over their right of way.
Mr. TAYLOR: This is similar to the bill I introduced, save that mine made the railway and not the farmer build the crossings.
Mr. ENGLE thought that this bill should be passed as it had passed the Senate, as the one by Mr Taylor would likely not reach the third reading.
The bill passed by yeas 54, nays 26.
