GRADE CROSSINGS.

One of the most important matters
which is to come before the annual
convention of the National Assocla-
ton of Railway Commissioners, to be
held in Washington, D. c., beginning
November 16, is the report of COM
mittee which will urge the abolish
ment of all of the grade crossing in
the United States. That it will re-
ceiye favorable consideration almost
goes without saying. AS a result, it
is probable that the railroad commits
sioners of the various states will be-
come active in taking steps to eradi-
cate this great evil. It is to be pre-
sumed that state legislation will be
necessary in most commonwealth to
accomplish the results aimed at, but
the railroad commissioners can do a
signal service to their communities
by investigating the matter thorough
ly and working out plans with the
railroads which will be practicable
and Just and which the legislatures
can use as bases for the necessary ac-
ton.
Grade crossings are responsible for
a great loss of life in this country
each year. Most of the recent rail-
road reports show that the fatalities
to passengers and employees are being
materially reduced with each succeed
ing year. Some of the larger systems
were able to report that for the past
fiscal year they have carried millions
and millions of passengers without
fatality to a single one of them. Such
are records that can be pointed to
with pride by railroads and public
alike and they speak volumes for the
zealousness of railroad officials in
their endeavor to make railroad trav-
ell as reasonably safe as 1t should be.
But the death list of the railroads as
result of accidents at grade crossings
seems to increase each year rather
than diminish, and it is safe to say
that the only way it can be decreased
is by the general adjustment of such
crossings.
This will be no small task. The
expense involved will also be great,
ss the grade crossings throughout the
land are innumerable. Nor should
the entire expense of doing away with
them be forced on the railroads. This
is the judgment of committee of the
National Association of Railway Com
missioners which has been consider
ing this question. And it is the cor
rect one. The expense of abolishing
the grade crossings should be shared
with the railroads by municipal.
county and state governments. This
is the practice followed at the present
| time in New York state where a law
| has been operating for some years
which aims at the ultimate abolition
