Law Says Grade Cross-Overs Mus

 Bridgeport, Aug. 23 [PrCharg!ng material neglect of duty on the part of the state public utility commits sion, for failure to comply wIfh Connecticut law in the matter of grade crossing elimination, Prof Albert Levitt. of Bedding, secretary of the Republican League of Con- necticut, today announced he was moving to have the members of the commission removed from office.
 A petition carrying the names Cf 100 electors is in process of prepara- ton, Prof. Levitt says, which W'll
 
 eral requesting that official to de- clare the. offices of the commits sion vacant.
 Failure to see that the law is en- forced, according to Prof. Levitt, may result in the attorney general declaring the offices of the commis- sion vacant on his own initiatiN c, doing so at the order of the govsr- nor or at the request of 100 duly qualified electors
 Asked Information Recently
 Prof. Levitt recently required the commission to inform him to what degree the grade elimination law was being enforced, He has failed to receive reply to his query, the professor says, and the only info1- nation given out on the subject so far, he points out has been in tne form of an interview with Richard T. Higgins, chairman of the pubic utilities commission in which tue commissioner, according to Prof. Levitt, evaded the question by de- claflng It was a financial impossi- plllty to enforce the law. The sta ute provides, says Levitt, for the commission to see that the railroaos eliminate the crossings in the amount mentioned and if the rail- road fails to do so the commission shall. The only provision that les sens the number of eliminations is that the railroad earnings shall have been exceptionally low.
 He charges that the commission cannot refuse to eliminate the cross lngs for this reason, as the New IIa- ven road shows net earnings of 3 millions in the last year, while the maximum cost, using the commits Slon's own figures, for full con- pllance with the law would be less than million.
 Following the completion of the petition, which will be circulated in various parts of the state, the actlcn VIII De taken to have the commits 'lon busted. The action is termed suit to declare the office vacant.
 Uses Recent Statute
 Referring to the commissions as- 'ertlon, made by Chairman Higgins. hat the cost of elimination was too great, Prof. Levitt says the commis- 'loner refers to the more recent statute of 1925.
 The 1925 law supplants the older statute and provides that the com- mission may eliminate crossings as iesslng the cost against the railroad, he town and the state. Levitt charg- IS that the commission has tried to make 1t appear that this law super
