Railroad fights plan to abolish grade crossings
In New Jersey Elizabeth hearing before the Public Utilities Commission, Jackson E. Revilly for the railroad urged fifty to sixty five percent cost sharing by the railroad for grade crossing eliminations, with the city meeting the remainder. City Attorney Connolly argued the law requires abolition at the railroad's expense where crossings are hazardous, while Reynolds suggested a joint funding approach and trolley line adjustments as a feasible solution. Continued on Wednesday.
