NO GRADE AND NEW DEPOT.

Whnitinsville, July ia hearing
was given in the equity session of the
superior court this week by Judge Fes-
sender on the report of the commission
appointed on grade crossings at WIFI
tins station. There was present at the
hearing Alpheus Sanford, E. S. Bishop,
H. c. Southworth, the three commits
sioners appointed by the court, Chair
man ]. v. Prentice of the selectmen of
Northbridge and his counsel, T. G,
Kent of Worcester; Col. Benton, coun-
sell for the Consolidated, and Assistant
District Attorney Hammond for the
commonwealth.
The qestion came up to see what dis
position would be made Of the COM
nissloners' report. There was quite a
tilt for some little time between the
three attorneys. The state claimed
that under the guise Of obviating the
grade crossing the commissioners re-
port 10 ono Of improvements, which is
not Ia line with the removing Of the
grade crossing and causes an expense
which Is not necessary to accomplish
the abolition of the grade crossing.
After several meetings between the

selectmen of the town, the railroad
commissioners and the railroad people
plan was made that was satisfactory
TO all concerned The plans and re-
port and layout for the abolition of the
crossing was accepted and signed by
the commissioners, the railroad people
ana the selectmen of the town.
what the report recommended in
part is as follows: First, that a new
passenger station be built and on the
south side of the tracks; second, a
new freight house and yard, to be
punt further north along the tracks
thlrd, indicating the point where the
grade was to commence, etc. The
probable cost of this work, as estimat-
ed by the three engineers was $51, 1926.
Ihls was to be paid for according to
the statutes and would be ten per cent
by the town, rs per cent by thestate
and Go per cent by the railroad corpora-
tlon. According to reports from Bos-
ton papers, that the grade crossings
question, as far as it concerned this
town, was dead, but thi sis far from
being the case. The law passed in re-
gard to the abolition of grade cross
ings was not complete and il is expect
ed that there might be technical points
to be considered, but the report of the
commissioners is in the judges hands
N4A az VIII NC utdIu from later, ana
1t is thought highly probable that af-
ter appointing this commission for
their special work that their report
VIII be accepted by him.
The report is considered impartial,
lair to all concerned and able. The
reporter who gave the news of the
nearing did not interpret the meaning
or the affair as it will be. There will
De another hearing later on. Uxbridge
was mentioned as one of the petition
ers and the thought was that perhaps
uxbridge' would be called upon to pay
snare of the expenses The time Tx
bridge signed the petition was Feb. 26
1891. She was interested at that time
as the boundary line dividing the two
towns, was in the centre Of the cross
ing.
BY the new plans all the property is
on the Northbridge side of the line and
consequently Uxbridge will not have to
stand any part Of the expenses II is
hoped that before new depot and the
abolition Of the grade crossing. which
is dangerous one, will be completed
work.
