HIGHWAY EXTENSION ACT.
Plans to BE Amended to Avoid Grade
CROSSINGS.

rams TO he Amended to Avoid Grade
Crossings.
The highway commission, it is stated will
amend the second section of the highway
extension plans in such manner as to OBJ
v;ate the necessity of grade crossings
along the projected streets which inter
sect steam railroads.
In letter to the Commissioners yester-
day, Col. Wilson wrote as follows liz This
connection:
The highway commission mas the honor
to acknowledge receipt of your letter of
the Sth instant, in reference to the nu-
merous railroad crossings at grade, shown
upon the plans of the second section Of
highway extension, submitted by lie Dis
trict Commissioners to the highway COM
mission. The commission has carefully
&C nsidered the offer of the District Commits
sioners to prepare modified plans along the
lines of the railroad and accept the propo-
sition contained in your letter with the
understanding that the changes to be sug-
gested by the District Commissioners will
Lot necessitate a readvertisng and re-
hearing of the whole subject by the high
way commission, and that the District
Commissioners will notify all parties who
may in any way be interested in any fur
Their changes they may suggest"
1t will be recalled that the subject of
grade crossings along the projected streets
in the second section was referred to in
The Star under date of November >, and IL
" DIS pointed out AZ tnat Tune, the peculiar
position of the Commissioners in urging the
abolishment of grade crossings in one in
stance and virtually giving them their ap-
prevail in another-that is, in approving the
second section of the street extension plan,
which provi led for numerous crossings.
The Commissioners were quick to repudi-
ate the action of the former board of Com
missioners in this respect, and called the
matter to the attention of the highway
commission, with the result contained in
the letter above quoted.

eight members of the house of kings
