Chapter 71 call for some measure

The end of the speech we quoted above is an excellent example of a call for something to be done.The speaker is pressing for action: Install a braking device on the Southern Railroad branch line.In order to realize his wish, the speaker listed the amount of accidents and economic losses that would be avoided after taking measures, and finally, he got his wish.It is worth noting that this speech was not just an exercise thing, it was given at the board of a railway company, and as a result the speaker's call for some kind of braking device to be installed was satisfactorily carried out.
