LAW FOR
ELIMINATION Of
GRADE CROSSINGS
Conference in E. Orange Thinks
Railroads Should Be Com
PEELED to Bear Expense.

A suggestion that a bill be presented
at the next session of the Legislature
compelling railroad companies to
gradually eliminate all grade crossings
in the State, and at their own expense,
met with favor at the joint meeting
of the railroad committee of East Or
ange City Council and Advisory Citi-
zens' Committee last night. The bill
will be introduced.
City Counsel Borden D.. Whiting
made the suggestion. and he believed
it more than likely such a measure
would now pass without much diff
Guilty. When the bill became a law, Mr.
Whiting said, East Orange could then
approach the Lackawanna railroad
officials and offer to assist in paying
part of the cost to secure depression of
tracks, and by SO doing secure the
style of elimination 1t desired. Mayo
Julian A. Gregory seconded his re-
marks.
1t was the general opinion the tracks
should be depressed and the natural
beauty OF the city preserved, City En-
gineer William D. W~illigerod reiterated
1t would be a feasible proposition
from all engineering point of view to
elevate west of the city thar east of 1t.
Many of the speakers declared there
was no material difference in the alti-
tude of the Lackawanna railroad
tracks at South Orange and in Rose
vile, which did not sustain the claim
of railroad officials the tracks should
be elevated in East Orange.
Councilman George A. Grover, chair
man. went wei in detail what had been
SO far accomplished towards eliminat-
ing the tracks md rea figures bear
ing on the subject, William ]. Tor
rance. who has had considerable rail-
road experience. referred to a talk he
had with engineers of the Lackawanna
and asked what would be their next
likely job after completing one they
were laboring on in New York State,
and wa told it would probably be to
draw new plans for eliminating crosc-
ings in East Orange" This caused a
laugh.

ton was brought out last night at the
conference when Freebooter John HI.

committee having this site under con-
s%ideration. He said that he had seen
MIR. Hendricks in relation to the mat

said that the former showed a disin-
clination to discuss the question freely.
