P. Holden In objecting, remarking that resid-nt. ot the Ridgedale section. In to Morristown, would be ton-ed lo doublo around Park and Madison avenues and to make a turn there which at present Is almost Impossible because of the angle at which ths streets join. Replying to the.o arguments, Engineer Kay atatod that obaervations taken during tho eight days ending Monday ahowed that the crossing was little used, less than 300 vehicles having crossed the bridge during that period.

On the busiest day 58 automobiles had uied U. every one a pleasure car which could have used the Madison avenue crossing with little inconvenience or entered street by way of Park avenue. An overhead crossing at Ridgedale avenue would be approarb- ed, he aald, by an 11 per cent grade or a subway one al a ten per cent grade, a grade that In either case would be a menace at Ihe Madison avenue Junction. In addition to these ohji-ctlons, he -aid, there would be an additional cost of to the railroad. As to the probable cost of the whole Improvement to the committee felt that the rallrnail hail inuile many conceaalons In the matter of aasuming the full burilcn ot expense In many Instances and under Ihe propsed agreement It was thought that 15.000 would go a long way tow arda paying for the niH-essary work to be done by the borough Should It cost the committee said tho municipality will, when the work Is completed, recognlin the fart thai the value of Ihe will he well worth the cost.
