TO HEARING
Public Service to Look After
Grade Crossings.

Following the petition presented
to the Public Service Commission
some time ago by residents of Prince
Bay and Pleasant Plains In regard
to the unprotected crossings at those
places a hearing will be held on the
matter before Commissioner McCar-
roll at $3.50 o'clock tomorrow after-
noon. 1t is expected that a large
number Of citizens will be at this
hearing, which will take q broad
scope covering ffty-eight unprotect-
ed grade crossings on the island.
From what can be learned 1t is evil
dent that the commission intends to
thoroughly consider the whole grade
crossing problem and everyone
should attend the hearing to con-
vince the commissioners Of the real
need of protection from accidents
such as that which came near costing
the lives of two boys in Pleasant
Plains a few weeks ago when q stage
in which they were riding was struck.
Similar accidents along the line of
the railroad also show the need of
gates on the grade abolished.
