Ordinance No. 125.
| An Ordinance to Protect the Pub
lic and Provide for Stationing
a Flagman by the St. Louis,
Iron Mountain & Southern
Railway Company Where Said
Railroad Crosses Beech Street
in the City of Newport, Ark.
Whereas, There is much travel
on Beech street leadipg across
the St. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern railw-ay, and that trains
are almost constantly passing
| over said street crossing, and by
reason of the number of tracks
across said street, rendering it a
place of great danger to the pub
lic, and that the maintaining of
a flagman at said street crossing
to warn the traveling public of
approaching trains would greatly
lessen the danger,
Be it ordained by the council of
the city of Newport:
Section 1. That the said St.
Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern
Railway Company shall station
and maintain a flagman at the
place where Beech street in the
city of Newport crosses said rail
road to warn the public of ap
proaching trains and to prevent
said trains from colliding with
persons and vehicles on said
1 crossing, and to keep the track
of said railway clear when trains
are approaching.
Section 2. That said railway
company failing, refusing or neg
lecting to comply with the pro
visions of this ordinance shall
forfeit and pay to said city
twenty-five dollars and five-dol
lars per day for each day such
failure, refusal or neglect shall
continue, said sums to be recov
erable before the mayor.
Section 3. That this ordinance
shall take effect and be in force
from and after its publication.
Approved Dec. 19, 1904.
