While the public utilities commis- slon has reserved decision on the pe- tition of the Business and ment association for the installation of gates at the st crossing, officers of the and others who attended the hearir held at the capitol this Improve- Main street yesterday, marning expressed the opinion that an order favorable to the town will be issued. Even should the com- mission refuse to force the compar tc have the crossing protected by gates the attitude of the members at the hearing indicated that they would at least make a new arrangement which would result in an ment in conditions, minimizing danger to a considerable extent.

The railroad seems willing to operate with the local association giving better protection at the cross- ing to constant operation of switcher and the frequency with which suburban trains go over the street their efforts in this direction have torne but 1ittle fruit. Hence it is ap- parent that gates will prove the only solution of the problem.
