searching them so that they will
have nothing on their person with
the exception Of money given them by
the police, and then they are wa. CHI

Continued from First Page)

the elimination Of all danger i. not
possible.
The elimination Of danger at all
railroad highway grade crossings by
the separation OF grades il not
physically or financially possible en-
oert by slow and gradual process.
The reduction Of danger at such
grade crossings by the installation
OF modern protective devices. such
as flash light signals either automa-
tically or manually controlled, is
more immediate and expeditions
during the necessarily slow process
OF elimination.
Danger Relatively Slight
tnquestionably there are ele.
ments OF danger at the crossing in
question, but the degree Is lessened
by the fairly good lines Of sight and
the necessarily limited speed OF
trains due to m absolute stop re-
quired OF all trains before crossing
over the tracks Of the NORTHAMPTON
Branch at the nearby Platnviile sta
ton. The installation of :4-hour or
full time satisfactory signal pro.
lection will further tend to lessen
the danger.
This commission fully agrees
with the policy OF eliminating srade
crossings, and recognizes the de-
STABILITY OF constructing trunk
line highway over East street as con-
templated by the state highway com.
| missioner, and that all trunk line
highways in process Of construction
or reconstruction should 60 either
over or under the tracks of a steam
railroad; but taking into considera-
ZION all the facts in this case. the
commission does not End that degree
OF danger existing which would war
rant the large expenditures the sep.
aration or isolation OF local interests
and the damage to property. which
the construction OF an overhead
highway as contemplated would en-
tall. sttll leaving an important cross
Ing Cast Main street, at grade only
few hundred feet away.
For the reasons herein stated
the petition Is denied. assuming that
the trunk line highway may be con-
structed along East street. and that
satisfactory protective signals will be
| installed.
This finding and order is without
prejudice, however. to any future
petition or plans which might IN
Volve this and other nearby cross
incs in Plainville."
