GRADE CROSSING PROBLEM
District Commissioners Tour OF
Investigation.
VISITED NORTHERN CITIES
An Opportunity To- See How the Mat
ter Is Handled There Afforded
Through the Courtesy of the Penn
syivanta Railroad ComEany-Con-
ditions Vary.

Commissioners Wight and Black returned
to their desks ttis morning, after having
been absent all day yesterday, On a trip
70 New York, over the Pennsylyanii road,
made rnr the purpose of seeing bow the
grade crossing question is handled in other
cities. They were very well pleased with
then tour of INSPECTION and both declared
that will be able 10 consider the grade
crossing problem much more intelligently
as q result of their observations. Ttey
were also loud in their praises Of the
pains taken for their comfort by the
road.
We are under great Obligations TO the
company" Nil. Wight said, for having df
forced us the opportunity OF acquaiut:ng
ourselves with the means adopted by other
municipalities to lessen Or Obviate the
danger Of gradc crossings. We were thus
enabled to note the peculiar problem 70
be solved by each city and TO see what
was deemed the best solution of it. | es
pec.ally, having no knowledge Of engineer
ing, was .tStoniShed and enlightened by the
variety of TIE difficulties 10 be net with
ard Ey the various schemes evolved to
meet rnen.
"Itwould be difficult to pick out any one
plan S the bestin the abstract. Thus while
the elevated tracks of Philadelphia seemed
best for tlat city In Baltimore the tunnels
running under the streets proved 70 BE- the
most satisfactory. Terminal facilities,
and disposition of passengers, Were also
made a matter for observation by as
Capt black was also pleased with the
facilities afforded the Commissioners by
the road to acquire inforIna tion for the
treating or this most important question Jf
city life.
II was especially impressed" he said.
with the engineering feat accomplished
in elinina ting grade crossings in Eliza beth
Y. j., where the railroad and the inuuici-
paIity together had raised the track and
depressed the streets. But while this was
the ca sIrst and safest method there, it does
not follow that 1t would be best in all lea seS.
as each city has its own peculiar condi-
tious to face. We also considered the
closing II streets entirely adopting meauS
to cross at various points, as is done in
some Ct the streets of Nrw York.
Neither Mr. Wight nor /, however, de.
cidcd tpon any especial plan as best fof
Wa shihgyon, merely reServing the infOr
nation acquired for use when the grade
crossing problem in this city shall come
up for final solution"
While on their trip the Commissioners
examined With much interest the cab sys-
tens established by the pennsylvania Rail
road Cotnrauy IN some citIes
They were asked for an expression OF
opinion upon the result of the elections
last night, but both smilingiy declared
politics beyond their province and decline d
