Morgan Crossing Problem

SOUTH AMBOY. July 31:-The
grade crossing of the New York Sc
Long Branch railroad at Morgan
was again responsible for traffic
congestion yesterday when the thou
sands of cars returning from the
shore were forced to stop in order
to allow trains to pass across the
road. The situation is getting SO
serious that the State Highway
Commission is investigating the
matter in an effort to see what can
be done to relieve conditions.
According to automobiles who
came through this city yesterday at
ternoon and last night, it required
one hour to get from Keyport to the
Morgan grade crossing. State police
are to be found along this short
stretch of road every Weekend. di-
recting traffic and preventing cars
from darling in and out of line.
The suggestion has been made
that the road. instead of turning at
Morgan and crossing the railroad
tracks, continue straight along the
shore, paralleling the trolley tracks
until it reaches a point where a
bridge might be built over the rail-
road tracks and the cars thus
brought into this city. The high
way commission is reported to be
investigating the feasibility of such
a. scheme.

gratifying to report the diminc-

That the Government should con-

And the pity of it is that our

not constructive. 1t looks to no

We are not now dealing with
a policy founded on theory, we
have a problem which is one of
grim actuality. We are facing in

will come either additional and
staggering Government losses and
national impotence on the seas. or
else the unfurling of the flag on

carrier of our cargOes in peace
and meet the necessities of our
defense in war. There is no
thought here and now to magnify
the relation of a merchant ma

is enough to recall that We enter
ed the World War almost wholly
dependent on our allies for trans
portation by sea. We expended
approximately three billions. few
erishly. extravagantly wastefully.
and impractically. Out of our
eagerness to make up for the
omiss ions of peace and to meet
the war emergency We builded
and otherwise acquired the vast
merchant fleet which the Govern
ment owns today
. In the simplest way j can say
il, our immediate problem is not
to build and support a merchant

of the highest and most worthy

our problem is to deal with what
we now possess. Our problem is
to relieve the public Treasury of
the drain it. is already meeting.
