NEW GRADE CROSSING LAV.

Important Change Made the Existing Stat
utes.
The following is the full text of the
new grade crossing law passed by the
general assembly of the state last
week:
Section Whenever the tracks of
any street railway and of any steam
railroad are legally authorized to cross
at grade, the railroad commissioners,
upon the written application of the
corporation or person operating such
street railway or such steam railroad,
as the case may be, may, in case said
parties cannot agree, order such cross
ings to be made by means of frogs of
such kind or style as said commission
ers shall require. Such order shall be
made upon reasonable notice to both
parties to appear and be heard as the
same, and shall prescribe the time with
in which, and by whom, and in what
manner such order shall be executed.
| And said railroad commissioners may,
| from time to time, upon notice as afore-
| said, make further orders as to the re-
| pair, renewal, and maintenance of such
crossing.
| Section 2.-Whenever the railroad
commissioners shall deem that public
| safety requires, they shall have the
power, without application to them,
| to make and cause to be executed such
| orders regarding grade crossings of
street railways and steam railroads as
provided for in Section 1 of this act.
| Section 3.-The expense caused by the
| execution of such order or orders shall
| be paid by the corporation or persons
| operating the railroad or railway last
authorized and constructed at such
crossing, and such corporation or per-
son shall also maintain the same.
Section Amy and all of such orders
may be enforced by mandamus, and
the cost of such mandamus proceedings
shall be taxed against the party refus-
ing to obey such order.
Section 5.-The provisions of Sections
9,424, 3,425, 3,426, 3.492, 3,474, 3,49S and
1857 of the general statutes shall apply
to all street railway companies, and to
the officers and employees of such COM
panies.

CITY DIRECTORY FOR 1895.
Estimated Population of New Haven in
1900 is 100000.


The New Haven city directory. In
Guiding West Haven, for 1895 was issued
yesterday by the publishers, The Price
& Lee company, and is uniform with
the directories of previous years in all
its principal features.
The whole work has been Thoroughly
revised and corrected up to date, and
will be found a convenience in every
business office in the city. The city
map in the front part of the directory
has been thoroughly revised, so that it
is correct and contains all the newly
laid out streets.
The work Of preparing a directory for
New Haven is an extensive one, and to
obtain accuracy requires the greatest
precision. In 1894 there were in the di-
rectory 49,766 names. In preparing the
directory for 1895 it was found necessary
to erase 6,045 names and add 5000. This
makes the number of names in the di-
rectory for this year 51,721, an increase
of 1855.
Changes of addresses in preparing the
directory of 1895 had to be made in 49,
1858 instances.
When the last census was taken in
1890 the population of New Haven was
85,981, and with the same increase for
the coming year as in the past decade,
namely, 1913 per cent, the population
in 1900 will be 117,561. Indeed, it is not
presumptuous to place New Haven's
population now at upwards of 100000,
and to estimate that it will be 120, 900
in 1900.
The increase in the number of nannas
is less than last years, which was 2,61S.
