PlainVille News WILL ORDER GATES FOR R. R. CROSSING Utilities Commission Decides in
 Favor Of Petitioners HOPE FOR NIGHT SERVICE
Business and Improvement Associa- tion Wins Victory Over Railroad mer League Favorite Back In Game

Although formal decision on the Business and Improvement assoc1a- ton for an order for the installation of gates at the East Main street crossing has not as yet been H'leo' a member of the public utilities cola- mission admitted to the Herald today that the action will be favorable 10 the town and the New Haven road will be instructed to minimize the dan ger to autoists and teamsters by ac- ceding to the wishes of the Plalnvllle people.
 At the office of the commission It was said this morning that the de- cision may not be filled before the lat ter part of the week. The commls- sioners, however, admit that they have decided in favor of the pettloners and the road will be ordered to nave gates installed at the crossing within a reasonable period.
 The action of the commissioners IS a splendid victory for President F. T. Wheeler and his associates on the as sociations board of directors For m months they have been agitatlnS inn proved conditions at the crossing ana they have been "pushing' the o1l- cials of the road hard in an effort to have the system of fiagging give way to gates. The railroad made many promises and the officials themselves seemingly made an effort to have them carried out Brakemen were instructed to guard the crossing at night while the switcher was i'll opera tion in the vicinity and the engineers of passenger trains had orders to slow down at East Main street. The men became careless at times, however, and there was but little improvement. The company then had the guard at the crossing use a danger board 1n- stead of flag in the hope that much of the danger would be eliminated. This change did not give the desired results either.
 Requests for the installation of gates were turned down by the com pany on the grounds that the traffic

STEAMERS CRASH IN
 SANDY HOOK DRIZZLE
Grekland, Bound for Scotland, and San Giovanni, Off for Italy,
 Forced to Put Back.

New York, May 16.-The Swedish steamer Grekland came into port to- day with hole in her portside above the water line under the poop, re- sulting from a collision off Sandy Hook with the Italian steamship San Giovanni. The latter vessel had her bow stove in on both side above the water line. The mishap occurred about midnight in a thick fog while both vessels were outward bound from this port The San Giovanni anchored outside the harbor, wait ing for the fog to lift so that she might proceed to dry dock.
 The Grekland sailed yesterday for kirkwall, Scotland, with a, general cargo, and the Italian steamship, like wise cargo laden, got under way about the same time for Genoa. When they collided the Grekland sent out wireless signals of distress and several vessels, including the Coast guard cutter Mohawk, hurried to the aid of the two steamers.

over the crossing was not sufficient to warrant the expenditure which the improvement would entail.
 As a result the men behind the agi- tation decided to appeal to the utili- ties commission A record of the traffic was kept for several days and the aid -of-tOwn autOistS who pass through here was sought. A strong case was presented to the commission CTS and even the railroad representa- tiVeS had to admit that there was considerabIe merit to the petition.
 In connection with the order, it is hoped here that the commission will instruct the company to have the gates in operation at night as well as during daylight. It is in the evening that the greatest danger prevails as autoists have difficulty in observing trains until they are so close to the crossing that it is sometimes extreme ly hard to avert a crash. The flag man under the existing conditions is on duty during the day only. While the gates will be a big improvement over the method now employed, their value will be greatly increased if they ar operated at least until midnieht It is believed that a clause concerning this feature of the improvement will be incorporated in the commissions s order.

 The banquets are seldom financial successes and there is usually de- ficit when the committee of arrange ments gets together to settle up It's affairs.
