PRESIDENT PEARSON AND PUBLIC POLICY At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the New Haven rail- road President Pearson gave the voad's attitude toward two import- | nt questions concerning the public, land it is disconcerting to contem- [ plate that he took the side contrary |to public interest in both instances | The two developments regarding which he complained were that stockholders are confronted with re- peated demands for the elimination of grade crossings, and that there is a continued pressure for reductions in rates. There cught to be no two sides to the grade crossing menace; railroads should favor their elimination along vith the public, even if the cost of such cl\mlnngon interferes with the prospect of dividends. It is a ques- | tion, too, whether in the long run | grade crossing accidents are not more costly than the construction of bridges or culverts. | | There is a widespread opinion that railroad rates are too high in some particulars. The New }aven is pot | renowned for low rates. An instance | |is the commuting rate between New | York and Mt. Vernon, N. Y., on the New Haven and on the New York Central. Both roads traverse the distance practically on the same | tracks, but the New Haven rate is around 40 per cent higher than that of the New York Central, greatly to | the indignation of the commuters and the Chamber of Commerce. The New York Public Utilities Com- mission granted the New Haven the I higher rate because it needed the | g ! money. The same basis of calculating rates has been followed | cases. If the railroads desire to compete with private automobiles and trucks most effzctively it is necessary for them $o attempt to do business with the rates as low as possible, not try to exact the highest possible rates. If the latter plan is followed the will win the contest the trucks will in othér automobiles hands down, and continue to make serious inroads. | Judging by the number of trains that have been “taken off" the gaso- line vehicles have been winning too extensively for the reasons indicated. | FIRE TRUCKS AND SAFETY All cities willing to weigh possi- bilities are interested in what hap- | pened in Cambridge, Mass., the other ! day, when a fire truck racing to a fire plunged into automobiles at Central square, injuring five persons, two of them dangerously. 2 supposition that a fire truck Jus the right of way to court in- juries to others and damages to their property is erroncous.
