$3.50 persons were injured. During
the first three months Of 1928 the
fatalities increased IS percent and
the injuries As percent over the same
period in 1929. If this was indica-
tive of what could be expected as
the years result, there would be
approximately $500 deaths and 5000
injuries during the present year.
These figures arc sufficient to
indicate the situation and to impress
upon US the need Of action towards
the curtailmcnt Of crossing accidents.
"On December 81 1929. there were
o5G,3G2 grade level crossings over
Glass One railroads operating with

The report Of the committee on

BRIDGE
!! TO Be REPAIRED
New Structure Planned by
Freeholders for Span at
Crab Beach

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 49,
Freeholder Walter G. Quakenbush,
of Perth Amboy, again urged the
Board of Freeholdesr to authorize
the prompt repair of the Crab Beach
bridge, on the road leading from
| Woofbridge to Sewaren, before that
structure collapses and causes a pos
sible serious injury or loss of life.
THIS matter was brought to the at
tehtion of the county fathers last
week and plans for the work were
authorized, but County Engineer
Morgan E. Larson reported yesterday
that the plans would not be ready
until next week.
The Importance of an early deci-
sion in the matter was pointed out
by Mr.. Quakenbush, as a county
bridge of similar type on the road
leading from Prospect Plains to
Applegarth collapsed a week ago to-
day under the strain of a heavy load.
Freeholder Robert r. Walden
bergh in reporting the collapse of
this structure advocated that a tenn
porary structure be built immediate
~ as the planning of a new struc-
ture at this time would very likely
cause the closing off of the road
until some time next spring.
This bridge which was built in
1893 and rebuilt last year, crashed
in as a large truck and trailor of the
Franklin lumber company, of New
ark. laden with heavy timbers was
enroute to another county bridge be-
ing rebuilt in that section. No in
juries were sustained in the acci-
dent though the truck and it's load
went into the Milestone river, the
bridge being completely demolished.
The freeholders authorized the i'm
mediate construction of a temporary
bridge at cost not to exceed $1,000
and the solicitor was directed to
communicate with the umber COM
pany reative to a settlement of the
damage sustained by the county, as
the gross weight of tn etruck is said
to have exceeded the fifteen ton
weight permitted under the motor
vehice laws.
No reply was received from the
State Highway Commission relative
to utilizing the old trestle on the
county bridge between the Amboys
