and Chronicle Rochester, N. June 2, 1956 15 Webster to Vote On Town Building In Nov. 6 Election A proposition for a new town hall will be placed before Webster voters Nov. 6, the Town Board revealed last night. The one-story building is tentatively planned about miles west of Webster village, site of the present town offices.

Costing an estimated $135,000, it would provide about 4,000 square feet of office and meeting space on the main floor. The basement would house the Webster Public Library new sharing quarters with the library of Webster Central School. The move reflects the town's snowballing growth from a 1950 population of 7,174 to an estimated 13,000. The building for which no architectural planning has yet been done will be designed with provision for later growth into a horseshoe-shaped layout. The public will be asked to approve a bond issue in November to finance the project.

The plan came out during a joint meeting of the public library and town boards. Upon suggestion by the State Education Department, the library will divorce itself from the school system later this year and will be housed in temporary quarters- yet to be found -until the Town Hall can be built, provided the latter is approved by the voters. Women Lose Suit In Elevator Mishap Supreme Court negligence suits for a total of $200,000 over injuries to two women in an elevator accident four years ago in the Granite Building, 130 Main St. brought a jury verdict yesterday of no cause for action. Mrs.

Ada A. Couter. 57, of 1815 Clifford and Mrs. Mary Izzo, 40, of 848 Fernwood sued for $75,000 each as damages for back. shoulder, leg and other injuries, their husbands, Richard Couter, a New York Central yardmaster, and Louis J.

Izzo, a bartender, asked $25,000 each for their wives' medical expenses and loss of services. Cleared of liability in a fourday trial was Granite-Main defended by Frederick J. Wilkens of Reilly, McLouth, Lines Wilkens. The was before Justice James C. O'Brien.

The jury of 11 men and one woman voted 10 to 2 after more than five hours' debate. Shortly after midnight, reached a' sealed verdict which was opened in court at 10 a.m. yesterday. Granite-Main of which Isaac Gordon is president, was sued as lessee of the offices portion of the building and in control of the elevator service. The two women said they were hurt May 7, 1952, when a hydraulic elevator descending from the eighth floor stopped suddenly between the first and second floors.

Hydraulic elevators in that building and elsewhere in the city have been replaced with electric lifts. In defending the case, Wilkens denied there was any defect in the elevator or that the operator was careless. He declared it was an unavoidable accident for which the defendant should not be held legally liable. USO Expects To Continue Rochester's USO likely will continue operation because of additional military personnel at Seneca Ordnance Depot to be served, Fred Forman, president, said yesterday. A budget of $19,900 has been allocated for USO operation in 1956-57 by the Council of Social Agencies, Forman said.

The 500 new officers, and men expected the Depot because of expanding activity there are sufficient to justify the Rochester USO's continued operation, he added. Forman said the USO board of governors will review the agency's position around the first of July. Razing Job Set On Slum Houses Deputy Corporation Counsel Donald H. Houghton announced yesterday the contract for demolition of three rundown Ormond Street dwellings has been awarded the Moosehead Wrecking the low bidder at $3,900. Demolition will begin immedilately, Houghton said.

The houses 368, 372 and 376 are the first to be demolished under the city's new "repair or renovate" housing ordinance. Cost of demolition will be assessed by the city against the owners, Abe, Morris and Lester Meyers, Mrs. Lillian Potter and Mrs. Anna Janos. 24TH WARD DEMOCRATS The 24th Ward Democratic Organization will hold its annual dinner-dance at 7 p.m.

NYC on Right Trackwith Traffic Plan In the black of the night two speeding express trains roar toward each other from opposite directions, miles apart- but on the same track. In a room in the New York Central station in Central Avenue, a dispatcher sits in front of a large control panel. He can see, by lights a scale Teproduction of the entire railroad division, the exact location of the onrushing trains. At the proper time, he throws a lever on the lower half of the panel. Out there in the night, the engineer of one of the trains sees a signal telling him that in a few seconds his train will cross over to the next track.

He doesn't have to lift a finger in the maneuver. The crossover is made smoothly, automatically, without loss of speed. Now the two trains are on separate tracks; they pass safely. Then the process is repeated so that they are back on the same track again, going their separate ways. Magic of Electronics If this is sounds like a strange way to run a railroad, it is.

But chalk it up to the magic of eleotronics. They call it Centralized Traffic Control, a foolproof system of controlling and dispatching. trains that makes it possible for two main line tracks to do the work of four by arranging the Signalling so that trains can operate in both directions on either track at any speed. The nerve center of the CTC setup will be located in Rochester, Syracuse controiling division-133 the milesre between Buffalo and Syracuse. It will cost the New York Central System approximately 400,000 and scheduled for completion by September, 1958.

The railroad will realize conSiderable financial savings as a result of the system-approximately $138,000 in taxes alone, for some 230 miles of track will be removed. The Central is taxed an average of $600 per track mile per year. Already some track is being removed in area. Developed in 1926 CTC isn't what you could call a new system. It was developed by General Railway Signal Co.

of Rochester back in 1926, but many refinements have been; made since. The N.Y. Central first used it near Toledo, Ohio, in 1928. It is an electronic arrangement whereby electric circuits open and close switches. The engineer is advised of upcoming events by signals, along the roadbed.

Although he does not execute the crossover maneuver, that being accomplished automatically from the dispatcher's panel, the enginer slows or stops his train, according to signalled instructions. "The system is foolproof," a New York Central spokesman said. "It is so designed that the dispatcher cannot, for example, place two trains into a collision. The control board won't let him make a mistake. "As an added safety feature, if the engineer should run through a red stop signal, an automatic train control goes into effect at the next signal and stops the train for him automatically.

This part electrical, part mechanical device utilizing a control alongside the track." To Save on Maintenance In addition to the tax savings, the railroad expects its maintenance costs for track and signal devices will be cut in half. The railroad won't sell any of its right-of-way, but will use the old roadbed from which the tracks are removed for highwaytype work trucks to conduct offtrack maintenance, doing away with many work trains, steam cranes and heavy railroad repair equipment, it was said. The two outermost sections from Rochester-10 to 12 miles east of Buffalo and the same distance west of Syracuse will be the first sections completed. The control panel in Rochester, to cost approximately million dollars, will be installed after those sections are completed. The first section probably will go into operation in the summer of 1957.

The panel will be manned by six men, working two at a time, three tricks day. One dispatcher will control the track from Rochester to Syracuse, the other from Rochester to Buffalo. The panel room will be in the space now occupied by the USO, that organization to be provided space elsewhere in the station. High Speed Crossovers The two track system is so arranged that there are highspeed crossovers at predeter mined points between the tracks. These permit trains to cross from one track to the other at speeds up to 80 miles per hour.

The crossovers are about 320 feet long, 40 (as foot compared length of with the regular 20 switchovers) and are angled gradually. Signals are spaced about two miles apart, facing both directions. Present signals are about one mile apart. Heavy tonnage freight trains will be able to attain, speeds compared up to with 60 the miles pres- per ent 35 mph. The tracks that will be removed, according to Richard Marshall of the railroad's public relations department, will be in areas where there are no industries and where traffic studies shown their removal most logical.

Third and fourth tracks will remain when they are needed for passing and for siding and industrial leads, he said. One of the most modern railroad developments, CTC is being used by some 80 railroads. Leon Smith, 61, Dies; Commercial Artist Leon E.

He is Sam Ange, 18th Ward committeeman and a Rippey committee worker. Said Ange: "The statement of DeSapio in backing Posner smelled deeply of Tammany Hall It would do well for DeSapio to clean his organization of Hall before coming to this city and insulting the intelligence of the voters.

I would welcome the support of the national convention delegates for Sen. Kefauver over the support of the Tammany Hall leader who is backing Gov. Harriman." Other statements concentrated their fire on the state official and the county chairman. Said Bush, the ousted county chairman: "If DeSapio can see something to be proud of in the Party for last two years record of (local) Democratic then under the Reform faction, it seems that perhaps someone of more perspicacity should be trusted with the political future of Gov. Harriman." Said Lawrence G.

Edenhofer, former city councilman and candidate for national convention delegate: "The issue is clearly drawn that a vote for me will be a vote against DeSapio and Tammany Hall interference in the affairs of Monroe County Democracy."
