PERTH AMB0Y ONE OF
FIRST TO TAKE ACTION

BY an act of the Council Monday
night, Perth Amboy became one Of
the first cities of the state to petition
the Public Utility Commissioners for
the removal of grade crossings here
under the new Fielder grade crossing
bill. Two resolutions were adopted,
asking that grade crossings of the
Lehigh Valley and Central railroads
be eliminated. The intention is to
have the tracks elevated or lowered
to remove them from the grade.
The Lehigh Valley tracks might be
lowered, and the Central and Penn
sylvania lines elevated, thus doing
away with dangers and delays at
crossings.
Atlantic City was the first munich
pality to file petition with the util-
ity commissioners for the removal of
grade crossings. The Fielder act
provides that after such petition Is
filed the Utility Commission shall fix
the time and place for a hearing be-
fore 1t determines whether the cross
ings should be ordered removed.
Following such hearing the State
board may make whatever order 1t
deems Is justified. AS the new law
put the entire expense of grade cross
ing removal upon the railroad COM
panies, except under certain minor
conditions, the Utility Board expects
to be flooded with such petitions in
q short time.
