Report on Peter Bou'
lays Death at Madison

The Public Utilities Commission Thurs

the matter Of an accident on the premises
Of the Maine Central Railroad near Mad
ison on July Is resulting in the death OF
Peter Boulay. in which the crossing at
which the accident occurred is declared

that the railroad and the selectmen OF
Madison arrange for the removing Of GER
tain distractions to the view of travel
ers and trainmen. The text Of the de-
cision follows:
On Saturday. July Is, as extra freight
train $50 was proceeding west from Mad
isor station on the Maine Central Rail-
road. it struck at what is known
as Old Point crossing an automooile
driven by Peter Boulay Of Madison. in

Mary Gilbert OF Watervills. An iuvestt-

cation by the commission disclosed that
the engineer did not see the automobile
approa ching along the highway until 1t
was quite near the same and the automo-
bile was from 80 to so feet away from
the crossing. The engineer applied the
brakes for emergency but the accident
was not thereby prevented. The evidence
showed that the crossing signal whistle
was sounded at the appropriate distance
and that the bell on the engine was ring
ing the statutory distance away from the
crossing and kept ringing until after the
accident occurred, the familiar automatic
arrangement for sounding this signal be-
ing in use.
This crossing is somewhat blind, espe-
cially where, as in this case. the automo-
bile and train are approaching the cross
ing from opposite directions. Trees and
bushes obstruct somewhat the view OF the
approaching traveller and Of the engineer.
But our investigation shows that when
an automobile is 125 feet or IS feet from
the crossing, an approaching train can be
seen for distance Of at least 400 feet,
. but that when an automobile is 125 feet
away from the crossing the train could
not be seen for a greater distance than 125
feet.
The approach to the crossing along the
highway is at considerable grade and it
seems probable that Mr.. Boulay in his
small runabout was doing what is called
making a run to go over the crossing
and could not have been paying more than
scant attention to the approach to the
crossing of the train. No blame for the
accident apparently attaches to the com
pany or any of it's employees but we sus-
eest that the railroad and the selectmen
of the town of Madison get together and
try to arrange for the removing of certain
Instructions to the view of travellers and
trainmen at this crossing. Our inspector
reports that some work can be done
within the limits of the railroad right of
way, some within the limits of the high
way and some on private land. An effort
! to remedy existing conditions should be
i made and the clerk of the commission
| Is directed to mail a copy of this finding
| to the clerk of the town of Madison.
