Will Abolish Grade Crossings in Wal
 lngford and Meriden.
 The Consolidated road officials have practically decided to abolish the grade crossings in Meriden after completing the work of elevating the tracks in Bridgeport which work Is now in prog ress.
 During the last few years the com pany has made many improvements in this direction all along It's lines, par ticularly south of Bridgeport and north from Hartford to Springfield through cities of any size. In some places overhead bridges have been construct ed. New Haven is now protected by bridges: South Norwalk and Stamford have the same Improvements.
 In Bridgeport a new station is to be built and the elevating of tracks is be- ing pushed along. It will take about two years. it is thought, to complete the work there.
 Surveyors have staked the railroad property in Meriden in preparation for elevated tracks. Wallingford comes in for it's share of improvements after the work there is completed.

New York Correspondent of the Times
 Says New York is as Unsafe as a
 Mining Camp.
 London, Oct. 25.-The New York cor resopndent of the London Times, whose statement has been sent broadcast over Europe, declares that reign of terror exists in New York city.
 Tt is no exaggeration to say" writes the correspondent, that New York is now as unsafe as mining town gen. eration ago. One of the results of the political importation of tramps and criminals has been to turn loose in the city many of the most dangerous men in America. Criminals of every class, fro mthe petty thief to the highway man, are pressed into service. Part of the price paid them is the promise of immunity from punishment; and, re- sulting therefrom, an incredible wave of crime is sweeping over the city.
 The shopkeepers are in state bor- dering on panic. Citizens walk the se- cluded street at night literally at the risk of their lives. The more prosper our shopkeepers are employing private watchmen so great is the distrust of the police"
