GRADE CROSSING BILL.
Arguments before House Committee In
Favor OF Having the Work Of
Abolishing Crossing Done
by Contract.

Montpelier, Oct. 2g-Ymmesliately after
the adjournment OF the House this after
noon tho committee on railroads gave
hearing on House bill No. 7 which re-
ouires tho railroad commission to let
contract for the work whenever a grade
crossing was ordered abolished. Tho chief
speaker before tho committee was Mayor
w. J. Bisclow OF Burlington, who said
he was tho author of the bill. He said
that In the city Of Burlington tho rail.
road commission had ordered tho con-
struction of mn undcrpnss at a dangerous
grade crossing on Lakeside avenue and
ordered that tho work be completed BY
November IL this year. Not a shovel
fun OF dirt has yet been moved there
and II in not probable the work can be
done th"re now this season.
The work was to be done by the Rut-
lnAd railroad and they had submitted
estimates that the work could be done for
SlS7S, but experience shows that these
preliminary estimates are OF little value
In the town Of Rupert the estimated cost
q, m undefpass was shout 1920 but
when completed the cost was over $4,000
In the town OF Bolton the estimated cost
or aoolishing two grade crossings was
about $3.50 Tho cost claimed by the
railroad on the compilation Of the work
was $4,000 Therefore Mr.. Bigelow
claimed the city and the state had very
little Idea OF what amount they might
have to pay when the work was done.
still stronger reason why the city
and state should he allowed the chance
to have other parties bid for the work
Is that he had consulted responsible
contractors md engineers and learned
That they would be glad 70 have done
the work NJ Lakeside this season at
from 70 to 70 per cent. less than the esti-
mated cost given by the railroad With
the opportunity 10 make such a saving
"a this from tho estimated cost and
To be freed from tho possibility OF
still greater cost. n the railroad Is given
free hand. he believed the State and
city should be allowed to have de-
finite contract q s the result OF compcti-
tive bids
BY contracting the work the COM
mission would 10 able to secure the
Of two grade crossings a
year on each railroad and tho expense
Of such work would be distributed be-
tween tho railroad, the State and the
town as required by law.
r. W. McCuen of Vergennes favored
the bill and said that the railroad was
still Mt work on an underpass in his
city that was estimated TO cost $1,000
and he Ind been told by city Of
hcial that the bills now exceeded seo. 90.
