has more traffic moving from highway to highway and the grade crossing is a menace in such a situation. Data Assembled Freeholder Joseph Morecraft agreed with Mr. Wilson in general and remarked that the PUC has made a study of the matter during the past years. "The commission has much data (in the case) but we've never been in the position to get preference," he told other members. Mr.

Wilson said that since the road traffic has increased over the past two or three years he did not think the commission's data would be up to date and indicated another count should- be made. Dr. Wilkens, in agreeing to present the matter to his board, asked if the commission suggested an elaborate study of the case, including detailed facts and figures. Mr. Morecraft advised him to contact the commission and tee what it wants.
