CLAYTON CROSSING PLANS. ‘ When the public utilities commis- sion ordered the elimination of Clay- | ton Crossing it is quite certain it had in mind the bridging of the tracks at the point where the tracks now cross the highway. The public utilities commission would scarcely take it fipon itself to order the elimination of this crossing if it involved a com- plete change in the highways in that neighborhood. The decision of the commission was just right and was stamped as such after investigation of all the grade crossings in the state. Ceftainly, when the utilities commission ordered the climination of this crossing as the first step in & general eliminatiori of dangerous erossings throughout the state, it did not contemplate a general rearrange- ment of the highways of the state to suit the cofvenience of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- way. This being so, it is inconceivable that the commission would counte- nance any deviation from its plans fn regard to thes most dangerous crossing, the first to be ordered re- moved in pursuance to the rule re- quiring the railroad to gradually eliminate a certain number of grade erossings a year. And this rule, inci- dentally, the railroad, excusably per- haps, has not lived up to. f rate by the relative ‘number of tour- ing cars and roadsters seen on the highway. = such persons, sorving perhaps a ¢ they turn and‘ »alaboose” where srcerated a i ruther be out- side lookin® frequint rema just released fror five-day term, i look back at th they have been few days. “Well, side lookin' in th out.” A New Britainite retur ing frox rief visit to New York th wther day Was heard to make a simi remark, | Kindneés pays.
