Public Utilities
Orders Waterville
Crossing Changed

A decision has been rendered by
the public utilities commission or
dering thta the crossing in Water
willie, known as the North Street
Bridge Overhead Crossing, with its
approaches, be altered.
The decision states that the Maine
Central Railroad Company shall
provide for, manage and execute the
work necessary for the alteration of
the crossing, that the railroad COM
pany shall provide all labor and ma
terials required for the work, that
the work is to be begun by the rail-
road company on or before May l,
1926, and Is to be carried to COM
pletion within reasonable time there
after, and that the expense of the
alteration sin agreement with the
statute, shall be apportioned as fol-
lows: Ten per cent of the entire cost
to be paid by the city of Waterville,
25 per cent by the State of Maine
and 65 per cent by the Maine Gen.
trail Railroad Company.
"At the hearing evidence was pre-
scented from which we find that pub
lie safety requires an alteration In
the crossing at North Street Bridge
in Waterville." says the decision or
the public utilities commission.
"Since the time of the hearing,
the city Of Waterville, by its order
of Feb. 2, 1926, has established GER
tain grades on North street ada
cent to the bridge in question, and
we are informed that the city con-
templates filling the public ways af-
fected to meet such grades" con-
tinues the decision.
."From the evidence submitted, we
find that no person is entitled to any
damages by reason of alterations to
be made in the North Street bridge.
eve find it necessary to ertablish
temporary way or to approve the
same If established by other persons
in interest.
eve find that the cost of the al
iteration Of the crossing required by
public safety will be approximately
$1,000. We are satisfied from our
investigation that the financial con-
dition of the Maine Central Railroad
Company will enable 1t to comply
with our order, and that the prob
able benefit to the public will war
rant the order and the probable ex-
pense resulting therefrom, and that
the order can be complied with
without exceeding the state appro-
priation therefor.
1--WE believe that the Maine Gen.
trail Railroad Company, because OF
it's equipment, facilities and expert
ence. can make the alterations pro-
yided for more advantageously and
economically than can any OF the
other parties before u.s."
