Will Work Rapidly When
it Gets Started.

The new grade crossing commission
of expert engineers is expected to be-
gin its duties next week. Rudolph
Herring of New York and Desmond
Fitzgerald of Boston, who are the asso-
eiates of City Engineer F. A. Mcclure
on the commission, were notified yes
terday of their appointment and con-
firmation. That was mainly a matter
of form, as their consent had been OBJ
tanned before their names We're select
ed.
| Just what method of procedure the
commission will take, nobody can tell.
1t will be under no instructions, save
those contained in the order by which
| it was created, and those were simply
to investigate and report on both the
depressed and elevated tracks systems
Mayor Rufus B. Dodge Jr., will, how
ever, suggest to the commission that
the quicker it does its work, the better
lit will be appreciated by the city Of
Worcester. for dual reason.
One is that the city officials desire to
make some attempt to reach the present
session of the Legislature, even if Sus-
pension of the rules is required. In a
matter Of such great Importance as the
settlement Of the grade crossing prob
lem, Worcester will not hesitate to ask
for such a suspension. 1t may be that
the railroads will oppose suspension
If they do, they will have to show their
hand. and that win be of some benefit
to the city in case a harder contest is
in store
Another reason why the executive
Will suggest as early report as posi-
BILE, is on the ground of expense. No
fee has been fixed for the services of
the commissioners except City Engineer
Mcclure, who gets nothing for his ad-
| ditional work. The other two can
charge what they desire and they will
get it. The question of cost has not
| entered into their appointment at all,
| for obvious reasons. The work of the
commission will not be anything as ex-
| tensive as that of the Allen-Locke COM
mission, which cost the city SIT 900. The
new commissioners may not be able to
| continue their work without Interrupt
ton, so that their Investigations car
| rled on by piecemeal, will run over sew
| eral weeks. The shorter the time the
shorter the bill against the city.
How long before the commission is
ready to report, nobody can tell. The
engineers may content themselves with
but little additional information to
! that which is already in the possession
of the city engineer, and which is be-
ing secured now by the borings of the
sewer department. On the other hand,
the commissioners may desire to make
personal Investigations of the work
| which has already been done Their
| decision on those points will affect the
| length of time they will be engaged.
| Both City Engineer Mcclure and
| Mayor Dodge think the investigations
should be finished in a month if the
commission is able to devote any CON
siderable time to the work The city
officials said yesterday if the commits
sion could devote all its time to the
work, it would probably finish in lit
tie over week, two weeks at the out
side. klle

LONG DISTANCE PHONES
May Soon be Feature of the Peoples
Company Equipment.

I. L. Currier, president and general
manager of the Peoples Telephone
company, said yesterday that there was
nothing new in connection with the
project, further than what has already
been stated. The company organized
during the early part of the winter, and
petitioned for a charter under the
above name.
OF late very little has been heard of
the scheme, until the announcement in
Yesterdays Spy that the company had
applied to the city government for Local
lions in the streets of Worcester. The
company now awaits the action of the
city fathers.
The question whether the company
will be obliged to lay underground
conduits for It's lines or will be allowed
to run aerial cables. is an important
one from the fact that very different
estimates will be necessary in one case
or the other
Mr.. Currier says he can see nc reason
why the city will not favor the plan
as laid out. The company is a local
affair and working for the best interest
of the people of Worcester, and he is
confident that the necessary permission
will be granted.
What the company proposes to do
has been explained Thoroughly in the
Spy, and all that remains for the
company to do is to get rights to con-
struct a system of either overhead or
underground wires, and get its ex-
change in running order. when the Peo-
pies company will be realty.
MIR. Currier has been in Boston dur
ing the past week and talked with the
men who are at the head of the opposi-
ton movement in that city These men
have already received franchise, and
consider 1t a question of but a short
time when they will have established
long distance service with the new
company recently organized in New
York.
This is exactly what the Worcester
company is looking forward to. AS the
Boston company looks to New York,
so the Peoples company looks toward
Boston, and with the establishment OF
an exchange in this city 1t is claimed
that It will be a matter of but COM
paratively short time before the cities
will be connected and able to compete
favorably with the old line companies.
The Peoples company claims to have
500 contracts for instruments already
signed, most of them for five years
time, and with this as a start, Mr. Cur
rier feels that with nm exchange estab-
lished in this city. 1t would soon have
more business than IL could handle.
