Toll of Death at Grade Crossings Continues

New York has a complicated schedule,
depending upon the special circumstances.
ranging from the payment OF the entire
expense by the railroad to oue-half by the
railroad and one-haf by the state. The
usual rule. however. is one-half by the rail-
road. one-quarter by the state and one
quarter by the municipality.
In Connecticut each railroad is required
each year 10 abolish at its own expense one
grade crossing for every sixty miles OF
road owned. This law was passed in 1889
and under il the railroads are gradually
eliminating the crossings az the rate OF
about sixteen "A year-or 352 crossings in
twenty-five years.
In Massachusetts the railroads pay 50 per
cent. the municipality not more than 10 per
cent and the state the balance or the
state portion, Is per cent may be imposed
upon "a participating street railway.
New Jersey has no statute upon the sub
ject. except 10 permit contracts between
railroad and municipality. save in so far a s
the charter provisions may act as a law.
In practice. while various sharing contracts
have been made. the bulk Of the work has
been done at railroad expense.

case includes the requirement that the road
shall separate its grade al intersecting

And be ii enacted that it shall be the

the following language:
"Third-That the main grade OF the road

justified until its success can be proved by
