oney show 400 accidents at grade cross
ings in the year ending June 80 last,
161 persons being killed.
As there ar, 11.776 grade crossings
in Pennsylvania. OF which only 1874 are
protected in any way. the general aboli-
tion OF crossings is manifestly going to
call for expenditure OF a great amount
Of money and for much time. The
Public Service Commission has been 60
ing ahead with its plan to secure grad
ual abolition OF crossings and in di-
viding the costs has been placing them
upon the railroads and the counties and
municipal division benefited. 1t has
happened several times that the State
has been a beneficiary as crossings
abolished were on State highways and
the lack Of an appropriation to pay the
bill on the part OF the Commonwealth
has attracted much attention. Future
abolition projects are bound to involve
the State.
1t IS likely that an appropriation of
a quarter OF a million dollars may be
asked TO take care OF the States end
OF such matters.
