R. r. Grade Crossing
Elimination
State Roads Board Schedules
81 For Removal-Four
In Cecil County

Fifty-seven Maryland grade cross
ing elimination projects, including
the Rockville crossing where four
teen school children were killed
Thursday night, have been recon-
mended by the State Roads Commits
sion for immediate attention In con-
nection with the $4,000, 90 900 Fed
eral public works program.
These projects were selected by
the commission some months ago
from total of 921 grade crossings
that still remain in the State--198
on State highways, 697 on county
roads, and 26 on the streets of
municipalities.
The commissions records reveal
further that in the last ten years only
eighty-six grade crossings have been
eliminated in the State, forty-seven
by the construction Of over or UNDER
passes and thirty-nine by the reloca-
tion of roads.
OF the total, only thirteen grade
elimination structures were built In
the last four years, due, it was ex-
planned, to the inability of The rail.
roads, in their straitened financial
circumstances, to match State funds
dedicated previously for this purpose.
The law by which the tax Is inn
posed specifies that its proceeds are
to be expended only In cooperation
with the railroads on a matching
basis.
AS result, the proceeds of the
half-cent gasoline tax earmarked
originally for grade-elimination pur-
poses-yielding approximately $780,
600 year-were diverted to the
general funds of the State for debt
service in the budget for 1934-35,
with legislative approval, and the
same provision has been made by
Governor Nice in his budget for
1867.
The total cost of the proposed
program would be in the neighbor-
hood of $7,680,000.
Latest reports from Washington as
to the amount that Maryland can ex-
pect from the $2OO,O0O,OO0 total pro-
vided for nationwide grade elimina-
ton under the public works bill in
dictate that the States share will be
approximately $2,14O,OOO. Earlier
calculations had placed the figure at
1920, 900.
The bill provides that the grade
elimination money is to be allocated
half on a basis of population, one
fourth on basis Of Federal-aid road
mileage and one-fourth on basis of
railroad mileage.
Among the fifty-seven projects Sc
lected by the State Roads Commits
sion are four in Cecil county: North
East, Pennsylvania railroad; Web
ers, B. G o. railroad; Singerly, B. 6
O.; Leslie, B. G o.
