CLOSING OF GRADE
CROSSINGS FOUGHT
Citizens Oppose Plan and May
Appeal to Court in Controversy

Citizens Oppose Plan and May
Appeal to Court in Controversy
A fight that will probably be
taken into the courts looms over
the proposal to close five railroad
crossings at Mays Landing.
Efforts are now being made to
force an ordinance through the
Hamilton Township Committee to
close the crossings at Farragus,
Cape May and Mistletoe avenues,
old Egg Harbor road and Weymouth
road.
The excuse given for closing the
crossings is that they will not be
needed when the new cutoff from
Twin Lakes to Cape May avenue
is completed and the new road
built from Cape May avenue to the
Ocean City road on the south side
Of the railroad. Residents of the
sections affected claim that clos
ing of these crossings will lower
the value of their properties to
almost nothing and that the new
railroad station promised as salve
to their injury means absolutely
nothing to them.
Travel over four of these cross
ings is negligible and neither has
ever been the scene of an accident.
Only one is protected and that is
by a bell. The crossing near the
Weymouth road is on the main
line steam of the Harding highway
and is guarded by Waterman. If
this is closed, all the Weymouth
section will be set back over a
mile from the Harding highway on
westbound travel.
Property owners in the Penning
toms Point section, south of the
railroad, led by Attorney Burton A.
Gaskill, whose home is located
there, say they will fight the
proposition to the last ditch. claim
ing they have been irreparably
damaged already by the build of
the cutoff on Route Il.
