SUBURBAN PAGE
COUNTY WILL HELP
TO AID MONTCLAIR IN SUIT
AGAINST RAILROAD.
Joins with Town in Trying to Force
Abolition of Bloomfield Avenue
Grade Crossing.

That the Montclair authorities should be
assisted in the abolition of the grade cross
ing in Bloomfield avenue, that town, where
the Lackawanna Railroad intersects the
trolley line, was decided upon at the Mo-
vember meeting of the Board of Chosen
Freeholders late yesterday afternoon.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the board in a letter from Robert M.
Boyd, jr., town counsel of Montclair, in
which he said that proceedings to force
the railroad to abolish the dangerous cross
Ing were to be brought in the Court OF
Chancery similar to the suit recently
brought against the Erie Railroad in this
city in connection with the crossing at
Summer avenue.
Mr.. Boyd explained that as Bloomfield
avenue was a county road the board must
appear as party In the suit, and Freebooter
Frederick l.. Baldwin made the necessary
motion for consent. The motion also en-
bodied the request that county Counsel
Elvin W. Crane lend to the Montclair au-
thorities what assistance he can.
