p U (. EAVORS ELLMLNA7TO THIS
 FALL OF CLAYTON GRADE CROSSING
Assures City That Hazard Will Be First of Its Kind
 to Be Ordered Eliminated.

] Assurances were given by the Pub
 lie Utilities Commission this morning
 at a meeting in the state capitol at
 Hartford with local committee in Attendance. that the dangerous Clayton
 grade crossing would be eliminated shortly, work probably being started
 this fall.
 The commission was absolutely in | favor of abolishing the crossing inas- much as it had been branded as be- | ing the most dangerous Of its kind in the state. It is proposed to have the road strengthened out a trifle at the point where the highway crosses the tracks and an overhead road would be built. This will entirely eliminate the possibility of smash-ups occurring there.
 The commission assured the local committee that this crossing will be the first one to be abolished even though there have been petitions for others in the state.
 Among those who were present at
 
 A. M. Paonessa, Corporation Counsel John H Kirkham, Attorney William C. Hungerford, representing the local Chamber of Commerce; Alderman Ar thur c Crusberg, Councilman stephen Lynch, Curtis Sheldon and E. o. Kill bourne.
 Councilman Lynch gave a state ment to the members of the Utilities Commission which showed the neces sity of eliminating the crossing. He said that at one time while standing at the crossing with a railroad man, | explaining the points of the proposed | changes freight train happened to | pass. Both men were surprised to | see that the signal bell did not ring and the approach of the train was not signallsd at all
 Several other good arguments were to the commission by the mayor, corporation counsel and oth- ,rs present showing why the crossing should be fixed,
 The bridge to span the crossing and he changes recommended will cost sS5,o00.

PASSION PLAY BROUGHT ,,, VENUE OF MILLIONS
5yv,c00 Witnessed Biblical Pageant This Year at
 Oberammergau

Oberammergau, Sept. 2s.-(By As sociated Press) - Her passion play over, her crowds of tourists gone and her shops sold bare of souvenirs, Oberammergau has slipped back into another decade of peace and quiet.
 A few days of rest and the actor villagers will busy themselves in re- storing the hamlet to its every day appearance. The task will be render ed easier by the fact that some 35o,- 900 visitors came to see the passion play this season and left millions of marks which the village can devote to improvement purposes.
 The gross receipts of the play itself were some 2o,oo0,oo0 marks, the sale of books and photographs netting a further 100000.
 In addition, other millions were spent in the village.
 Altogether 6S performances were given this year since the dress rehear- sal on May g. In 1910 only 57 per formances were given and the atten nd ance was far less. Figures are not yet available to show the seasons at tendance by nat1onal1tles, but up to the end of August. 1S.000 Americans had witnessed the play.
 Now that the approximately 800 performers are allowed to settle back and rest after their arduous labors of the last five months, the news that s1,o0oooo has been offered for the privileges of filming the play meets with a rather cool reception.
 The elders, especially, express re- sentiment at the proclamation" they feel would be committed were the deal to be completed. Even those. who overlook the sentimental con alterations oppose the proposition on the ground that Oberanmergau would be robbed of it's unique attraction abroad.

 OF $415 PRESENTED
Echoes of Curtis Administration Are Heard in Statement To City From
 Standard Oil Co. Today

It was with considerable surprise that there came into the office of Mayor A. M. Paonessa this morning, a representative of the Standard oil company, with a number of unpaid bills, contracted for gasoline and oil at the municipal garage.
 A total of these bills showed that for over year. within the period of April 30, 120, and December 20, 1921, that but s3S42s had been paid on a bill of sS09.96, leaving at pres ent balance of s415.6S, remains un- paid.
 It was pointed out today that this sum was handled through the Curtis administration, and was unknown to the present administration until the bills were received today. AS the mayor was out of the city today on official business, nothing definite as to what will be done in the matter could be learned.
