OVERPASS HEARING
NOT PREFUNCTORY
Chairman Bacon Says Nobody Asked
Public Service Commission to
Can It-Important Questions
Especial to The Reformer. J
MONTPELIER. Dee.

hON 4 ELLEN. Dec. 10.
Chairman R. c. Bacon OF the public
service comission. when interviewed by
representative Of The Reformer in
regard to the hearing to eliminate the
grade crossing at Bridge street, made
this statement:
II have read the article in Thurs
days Reformer in regard to this mat
ter with some interest. The notice for
hearing was issued by the commission
of its own volition, and not in response
ito q request from anyone. The article
seems to infer that the hearing called
for December - is u perfunctory one,
which Is not the case. There are "a
number Of very important questions to
be settled by the commission at this
hearing notably the matter Of the
height Of the overpass, and there may
be d number OF differences between the
interested railroads in regard to the
details
There is an order already in force
| for the construction of an overpass
about 500 feet south Of Bridge street,
and IN the performance Of this order
| the Central Vermont has been to quite
a large expense before the work was
stopped. As the record now stands
I
there i petition to modify this order
but nothing appears of record that any
action was ever taken on this petition
! This being the case, the present com
mission does not feel that they ear
lperfunctorily make orders based upor
understanding and oral statement.
which DO not appear of record bu
must have full hearing and de
tcrmine the question on its merits, in
cluding the question o. reimbursement
OF the Central Vermont for its pas
expenditures 20 far as the commission
has power and authority to hear an,
determine ;hat question.
As yet there has been no worl
done on the overpass which would com
under the cognizance of the commission
ana the commission will insist on
full hearing and proper order and tha
the work Oh the overpass be done i
accordance with the order.

 Suppose you are more sensible. Sup pose that it Is success you want Good! There are few joys in this world that can compare with the joy of achieve ment. Set your mark and start climb ing toward it.
