RINES HILL.
Figures Showing Travel
Over Dangerous Crossing,
One Of Five Which City Of
Augusta Seeks to Abolish.
Hearing to.Be HEIDI State House
Wednesday Afternoon.

In connection with the hearing to be
held at the State House Wednesday
afternoon on bill now before the Leg
islature and entitled AN Act to abolish
certain grade crossings in the city of
Augusta" it will be of interest to note
the figures herewith given, which show
the amount of travel over one of the
grade crossings referred to in the bill,
that Of Rines hill.
With a view of gaining information
concerning the amount of travel over
this crossing in the course of a day,
Mayor Plaisted on Tuesday, March o.,
caused a record to be kept, from 5 A.
M. to IL P. NJ, of every team, pedes
tran, train, including the shifting 10
connective, and electric car, which pass
ed over the crossing.
1t will be remembered that the day
was stormy. on which account there
were probably not as many people out
as there would have been had the
weather been fine, but nevertheless a
fair idea of the amount of travel over
the crossing in a day may be gained
from the following figures, taken from
the record: .5.
Maine Central trains and shifting
locomotive, so; electric cars, including
Hoyt's express car, Ill; teams, 1912;
foot passengers, 4123.
