ance of an order by the State Utili-
ties Commission providing for tie

ways in the state and preparation OF
sketches OF the crossings for filing
were made by the engineers repre-
senting the railroads affected by the
proposed order at the conference Of

gineer of the commission. The engi-
neer declared that the expense OF
such work would be too great for the

pairing to issue an order for uniform
grade crossings. The total cost, 1t is
estimated by Engineer Hooker, will be
less than $1.250.000. The commission
intends that this expense be spread
over q number of years.
In an estimate of the cost OF the
preparation of sketches of the cross
ings the railroad engineers gave the
cost at $l2 per crossing. while Mr..
Hooker showed that the maximum
cost would be 81 per crossing.
The commission will consider and
pass upon specific complaints made
by stockmen for the fencing of par
ticular parts Of rights of way OF rail-
roads as a means of protection OF cat
tie and of the lives of passengers of

order compelling all the railroads to
fence all their rights of way. This

nounced by the utilities body in the
