rock cut at the summit, on the Nashua
railroad, prevent any one from going
in that direction because it is filled with
snow?
Why did the New York, New Haven
& Hartford construct such an open
channel, coming out of New York city,
several miles long, walled up on both
sides, 20 or % feet high?
Were any of their passenger trains
ever stalled there, and haven't they
had as big snow storms there as any
where on their railroad?
Such arguments are not valid and
should brighten no one, nor cause them
to favor railroad entertainments and ele-
waited tracks, and innumerable un-
slightly arches and street tunnels IN
Worcester.
Another says: Yes. know the smoke
coming from those depressed track
cuts are terrible. Is it any worse than
to have the same quantity or more
smoke blown into your second and
third story windows, as the locomo-
tives puff and blow on the elevated
tracks? Is there any difference? Yes,
but the difference happens to be in IA
vor of the depressed tracks. There
should be no borrowing OF trouble
about smoke.
There is little or no danger coming

great danger from the elevated. The
railroad tracks are down out of sight
in one case, and are high. ungainly and
unsightly objects in the other. The
cost of depressing the tracks may be
less than to elevate them, but the cost
of keeping the elevated monstrosity
down out of sight should not be an
important factor in the solution of the
grade crossing problem. We want the
best, and the city can afford to have

no other.
GO TO THE LEGISLATURE.
Since the passage of the general act
relating to the abolition of grade cross
ings by the legislature of 1890, there
have been nearly 20 special acts of the
legislature pertaining to this subject.
In 1892, there was a special act passed
in reference to the abolition of the
grade crossings of the Boston & Provi-
dence railroad at fremont street, or
Roxbury crossing, in Boston. And the
Old Colony railroad was authorized to
issue bonds to the extent of $4,000, 900.
The provisions of this act were such
that the state was to pay S11s per cent,
the Old Colony 55 per cent, and the
city of Boston 1872 per cent in 20 an
nual payments. There were several
such acts as this which it is not neces-
sary to enumerate.
In 1896 the legislature by special act,
chapter 535, section 5, in providing for
the alteration of the grade crossings
of the New England Railroad Co., at
Congress street, Boston, authorized and
directed that the expenses of the alter
atoms and improvements prescribed by
the report of the commissioners, in
Guiding damages, occasioned by the
taking of land and by the alteration
COllSlIuCllOIl
bridges as required by said report was
to be paid by the railroad company
and the city of Boston and the COM
monwealth in such proportions as the
commissioners shall decide to be just
and equitable, considering all the rela-
lions of the parties.
That portion of the expenses which
may be required to be paid by the
commonwealth and by the city of Bos-
ton shall be primarily paid by the com
monwealth, and the city of Boston
shall pay such an amount thereof as
the auditor may determine and in such
annual payments as the auditor of the
commonwealth may designate.
Special acts and provisions have also
been made for the change of grade
crossings at Westfeld, and in one in
stance, Northampton, authority was
given to relocate any passenger sta
ton, or freight depot, or other neces-
sary. structure, or to alter or relocate
the freight yards or to provide new
freight yards or other facilities as may
be necessary to abolish grade cross
ings
So that nearly all kinds of provisions
and authority have been given by the
general court since the passage of the
general act of 1890, but no legislation
favorable to the city of Worcester has
been passed, except the permission to
defer until a time more convenient the
consideration of this most important
question.
There should be some manner by
which the citizens of Worcester can
give expression to their wishes on this
important question, and the majority
should rule and when the majority
have determined whether they want
depressed tracks or elevated tracks
there should be no further opposition
on the part of the minority, but with
one accord the city government should
be supported and with a united front
get from the Legislature such recogni-
ton as on the merits of the case may
seem just and equitable.
