The letter, dated May 15, reads: "This communication further re-! fers to your letter of Apr. 18, advising that the local Chamber of; Commerce has brought to the at-: tention of the Mayor and Council he matter of grade crossing elimin-! fition in Washington Prospect i Grove St. and Pulaski St. cross- ngs, on the line of the Central! Railroad of New Jersey.

In 1935 Program 'These projects were included in! the Board's elimination program of! 1935 and generally provide for elevation of the railroad right-of-way, at an estimated cost of $2,450,000. This program was made in anticipation of receipt of federal funds to aid in financing of this and other grade crossing elimination projects The Dunellen eliminations were not brought to formal hearing before the board since there were no federal funds available to assist in the financing. "It is the opinion of the board's engineers that at present day prices the cost of elimination of these grade crossings would be at least 50 per cent higher, or approximately $3,600,000. Since there are no federal funds available and the board's present funds are not sufficient to cover a project of such large cost, it would appear to be impossible to consider these crossings at the present time or In the immediate future." The letter was signed by Emmett T. Drew, board secretary.
