1 that they put in flagmen: We know for a fact that many times <br /> 2 there are not flagmen there and we have advocated and, if I <br /> 3 may quote from my letter, no vehicles or personnel of Brush <br /> 4 Creek or Eagle River Co. , Nottingham' s or any other company <br /> 5 or individual working for Brush Creek, Nottingham on the <br /> 6 coal mining operation be allowed to enter upon or cross our <br /> 7 right of way except at established, protected, public cros- <br /> 8 sing, the type of protection to be determined by the Colo. <br /> 9 Public Utilities Commission.
