The crossings over the Erie Railway track, in Addison, should certainly be planked without delay. Only last night Mrs. E. J. Horn attempted to drive across at the street below the bridge, and just escaped a severe accident by the presence of some men, who were promptly on hand. At this much frequented crosding there is no protection whatever.
