On the other hand it Is well 10 remember that the New Yori New Haven and Hartford railroad company had q deficit of over S41,- 0OO. .OO0 for the year. IL would be sheer folly for the state to add to this deficit the expense which wonii be involved in the enforcement of the grade crossings law. The extent of the falling of in the business will be appreciated when t Is stated that the number of passengers which il carried during the year was s,z40. y4e less than on the previous year. Thti was an enormous falIingg of in busi ness and discopraging too. Ths freight business of the railroads has also been appreciably decreased by the competition of motor vehicle trucks. The railroad situation Is really very serious in the state and it would not be good public policy 10 add to the perplexity by creating conditions which may he harrassing. The roads are so elosely identified with the industrial and business in terests of the state that it would be bad policy to be indifferent to their needs, and unmindfui of their claims fcv friendly consideration.

Railroad Grade Crossings

The action of the people of the state of New York in voting millions 10 eliminate grade crossings brings to mind the fact that there tx law on the statute books of this state for the elimination of crossings, and that T. requires the removal of one crossing for every nifty miles Of railroad .n the year. The law has been in ahey- ance for about ten years. In the opinion of some people 1t IS about tune that 1t was made operative All that is required to compel railroad com panies to resume the work of elimi- hating grade crossings is the revoea- tion of the order of the public utiii- ties commission suspending the law. The suspension of the law should not be taken as an implication that the statute for elimination was found un- necessary or that crossings m the state had ceased to be a menace te life. The necessity for elimination IS just as pressing and the dangers ot crossings are just as apparent and perhaps more so since automobiles came into general use, ais they ever were. The reason for suspension was the recognition of the fact that the financial condition of the railroads made t imperatively necessary to rs- lieve them of the burden which the work of elimination would create
 The law treats the railroads with con- sideration when II provides for the suspension of statute owing to the inability of the railroads to observe its requirements. But it is right that the railroads should be given the financial help which the suspension oi the law provides On the steam rAii-
