ates difficult problem.
1.-THE records at the department of
State show that 2,475 public cars
were registered during the past year.
and of this number only SO cars were
regulated by this Commission
through the issuance of Sc certifi-
Gates to persons. firms or corpora

1.-THE National Association of Rail-

the United States has for the last
two years been seriously considering
the subject of motor bus transpor-
tation and motor freight carriers as
problem of great Importance and
has through its committee reported
a tentative law. which with certain
notifications, will probably meet the
conditions in each state.
Crossing Accidents
"Our records show that during the
past year Is persons were killed and
26 were injured at grade crossings.
More than 80 Go Of all crossing ac-
cidents in Maine involved motor ye-
hicles.
IF no new crossings are added. 1t
would be physically impossible to
remove the present crossings in the
/ lifetime Of anyone now living be-
cause of the serious interference
with absolutely essential traffic
movement. the CONSTITUTIONAL and
| labor problems involved and the
wholly prohibitive cost
"The automobile at highway grade
crossings is a serious problem and
should command the attention of
every thoughtful citizen. Warning
sigps have been placed near all grade
crossings for a purpose. and that
purpose Is to protect the travelling
public, not only on the railroad but
upon the highways. Every person
approaching a grade crossing should
be diligent and use reasonable care
in order to protect not only himself,
but other people. 1t is only through
process of education that the deplor-
able number of fatal accidents at
, grade crossings can be reduced.
Valuation Engineer
'In our seventh annual report we
expressed the desire that we might
be able to attach permanently to our
staff a valuation engineer. We be-
lieve the Commission should have in
its files data pertaining to the valua-
ton of public utilities. We also de-
~ire to make an inspection of bridg-
es located on steam and electric rail-
roads together with municipal bridg-
es. over which the tracks of electric
railway companies are laid. This
work is essential but it is impos-
sible to handle it with our present
engineering force. In order to carry
such work on successfully it will be
necessary to obtain the services of
at least one more capable engineer
to be attached permanently to our
staff. We therefore urgently request
an additional appropriation for that
purpose.
