Alfred Perlman, president of the New York Central, commends the Elyria Chronicle Telegram for its penetrating editorial on the Ohio grade crossing problem. He thanks the staff for exhaustive research and efforts to place the facts in true focus for public awareness about grade crossing protection.
The Chronicle Telegram urges statewide rail grade crossing action with a commission, new funding, and state plus railroad contributions. It reports praise from Perlman and a favorable reception by the PUC, the Ohio Railway Association, legislators, Gov Lausche, and local supporters. The plan includes a crossing study, faster fixes, and potential auto license fee funding.
Gov. Lausche urged speedy handling of a court case filed by about 40 beer and wine carry-out permit holders.
