Petition for Abolition Of Grade Crossings
at South Vernon,

A petition with over 200 names will be
presented to the Vermont railroad COM
missoners praying for the abolition of
the two grade crossings near South Yer
non, over which the Boston & Maine and
Central Vermont railroads run, and
suggesting the erection OF a new union
station at junction of the two roads. over
20 passenger trains run each day over the
roads and over 80 freight trains, and
at least two engines are kept busy shift
ing cars from one track to the other, so
there is continual hauling and backing
of freight cars and often cars are stand
ing on the tracks so 1t is impossible to
pass. 1t is not an unusual thing 10 have
long train of freight cars broken at
the crossing just enough to allow one
team to pass through and as there is no
hagman when the train is brought to-
gether without warning, there is great
danger to pedestrians or teams. There
has been no serious accident for many
years, but the citizens say there have
been narrow escapes at both crossings.
The matter has been brought up in town
meeting for the last six years and COM
mittees have been appointed to interview
the railroad officials. They report that
the Boston & Maine officials are ready
to act II the Central Vermont will do its
part, but the committee says the Central
Vermont refused to do anything for the
present and so the matter has dragged on
A despatch under a Northheld date line
says Now II is reported that the Cen
trail Vermont would like to consolidate the
business done at South Vernon and North
Held and make a railroad centre about
one mile south of the present station
for both towns, which would, of course,
be very economical arrangement for the
Central Vermont But this idea has
aroused the citizens of both sides of the
river for should this be carried out South
Vernon would be deserted. Many are in
clined to think that II the grade crossings
cannot be abolished the petitioners would
be satisfied with a fiagman and the build
ing OF new station. Nothing, however.
can be done until the annual town meeting
except to present this petition to the rail-
road commissioners, but the circulation
of the petition has caused much agitation
among the interested citizens"
