THE RAILROAD CROSSINGS.
Attorney Hazelton Suggests That the Rail
road Company BE Given n Hearing.

Attorney HazeItOn suggests That the Kali
road Company BE Given n Hearing.
Mr.. Geo. c. Hazelton, attorney for the Dis
trict Of Columbia today made a report to the
Commissioners with reference to the resolu-
tions adopted by the Northeast Washington
Association, adopted at their regular meet
ing October "a, 1892. These resolutions,
which were reported in The STAR on
the following day, urged upon the Com
missioncrs to compel the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad to make certain changes in its grade
crossings in the northeast section of the city SO
as to make them conform to the grade of the
streets or avenues which the road may occupy
or cross.
The resolutions were referred to the attorney
for an opinion as to the right of the Commits
sioners to ordera change of grade as requested.
In his report Mr. Hazelton says:
II respectfully return the papers and sug-
gest that the Commissioners serve copy Of the
same upon the president of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, with notice fixing the
time and place OF a hearing in the near
the preamble and resolutions. The question
raised by the first command in this resoIu-
ton, which goes to the power of the Commits
sioners over the grade of said road established
under the law of 1884, is not to be determined
upon an eXparte statement and without an OBJ
pOrtuNlty DcliiS given TO tne railroad company
to be heard before the Commissioners
THE power of the Commissioners to carry
into effect commands two. three and four Of
the resolution is not a difficult question to
solve, as those questions do not seem to involve
vested rights, but come within the police power
i'll the interest OF public safety.
Il suggest upon matter of so much import
ance this hearing should first be had by
the Commissioners, in order that they may be
possessed of ali the information and all the
facts which are necessary to just and proper
determination of the matters involved"
The commands" referred to BY the attor-
ney for the District are embodied in the reso-
buttons of the Northeast Washington Associa-
ton and read as follows:
/. To make such alterations in its road so as
to conform to the established grade of all of
the streets or avenues which it may occupy or
cross.
2 To inclose the road along its entire route
through the city except where it crosses a
street or avenue) with substantial fences.
3. To erect gates Of the most approved nat
tern across each of the streets or avenues
crossed by it.
A. To keep competent watchmen on duty
both day and night at each crossing.
The resolutions also request that the Commits
sioners cause electric lights to be provided at
each Of the crossings Of the railroad
The Commissioners have approved the report
of the attorney for the District and will give
the parties hearing in the case next Wednes-
day ut IL o'clock.

PAVING BETWEEN RAILROAD TRACKS.
When the Anacostia and Potomac River Rail-
way Company moved its tracks on 18th street
southeast it used the blocks in the street
for paving the space between its tracks and
left the old cobble stones which were formerly
between the tracks in the roadway OF
the street.. The company was notified to re-
move the coble and do the paving required of
it with granite blocks to correspond with the
street. This, however, they refused to do
and the matter was referred to Assistant At
torney 8. T. Thomas for his opinion as to
the proper mode Of procedure. He says in an
opinion today that if after notifying the COM
pany to take up its present pavement and re-
pave with granite blocks it fails to do the work
the District may do it and issue lien certificates
for the same against the franchises and prop
erty Of the company.
