ACTION
ON CROSSINGS
Recent Accident at Linden
Leads Highway Board to
Inquire as to N. ]. Authority

TRENTON. Feb. S-The State
Highway Commission wants to
know what authority 1t has to force
railroads operating in this state to
protect dangerous grade crossings
and the attorney general will be
asked for a ruling. Action to this
effect resulted yesterday following
a resolution introduced by Commits
sioner Thomas ]. Collins, of Eliza
beth. respecting the recent accident
at st. George avenue, near Linden,
Union county, on route Nc. l of the
state highway system. MI. Collins
had the commission take action
looking toward the establishment of
two flashing signals for s at night
at the crossing and also. a survey
made looking toward the elimina-
ton of the crossing.
This route has a great deal of
traffic, as it has one of the main
thoroughfares and my investigation
of conditions at the crossing show
that sometimes both the bell and
the light used there fail to oper-
ate." Mr.. Collins told the commits
sion. The crossing is understood
to be n of the b. and Q. railroad.
Col. Walter +. Whittemore, Of the
highway board, who has been nomi-
mated for the utility commission,
said that the railroads ought to
protect these crossings and the
Utility Board should see that this
is done by the companies operating
owe them.
BY a unanimous vote the highway
commission endorsed the plan sug-
gested by the combined automobile
and motoring interests of the state
for providing the necessary $685.
900. 900 additional to complete the
State Highway System. A bond is
sue for SAC, 1000, 900 for the road and
$4,000 600 for the bridges worked
out on a scheme which will not
provide any heavy burden for the
taxpayers is the plan. 1t includes
a slightly increased scale of motor
vehicle fees and a continuance for
five years of the milf on the dollar
tax provided under the Edge Act of
1917, which expires next year.
Commissioner George Paddock, of
Newark. presented the plan to the
highway board. The arrangement
contemplates a thirty year financing
of the highways and retirement of
the bonds. The idea is to have
$4,000, 900 of the highway and ST.
100000 of the bridge bonds issued
each year. The bridges are to con-
nee the various highway links.
Governor Edwards urged in his
annual message, consideration of
this problem and commissioners A.
s. L. Doughty of Burlington, and
Paddock were named to present the
proposed solution of the financing
problem to the legislature for its
consideration.

which ia worth more than $4,000 Is
offered to the State, county Of Ok

about one-third of this figure.
The objection registered by the
Peru officials was that the town Is
not financially able to pay it's share OF
$4,000 for the bridge.
Two measures. one for $500 to aid
the plantation Of lockwood in painting
the bridge over the outlet to Brassua
lake and the other for $1,000 for the re-
construction of the Mary Wood bridge
in Lexington plantation, were intro
duced upon the request OF the State
Highway Commission and there was no
opposition to either matter at the
hearing.
Resolves relating to the construc-
