PERTH AMBOY EVENING NEWS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1910. CLASSIFIED ADS. Ten Words: or Less Ten Cents ONE CENT A WORD STATEN ISLAND NEWS HEARING ON LOCAL GRADES Plan to Abolish Dangerous Island Crossings. Before Commissioner McCarroll of the Public Service Commission, in Manhattan, there is a hearing being held this afternoon in regard to the proposal to abolish grade crossings at several dangerous places on the Amboy division of the Staten Island Rapid Transit Railway between St. George and Tottenville.

The three crossings that the hearing has been called for are for the One at Amboy avenue, Huguenot, Clove avenue, at Grasmere, and what is known as Crook's crossing, on Amboy avenue, Great Kills. In the borough of Richmond there are in all 89 grade crossings, of which 17 are protected by gates, 14 by flagmen, 44 by bells and 14 only by sign boards. For the two years and a half from January 1, 1907, to January 1, 1910, according to statistics, there were fifty-six people killed and 100 injured in grade crossings accidents on Staten Island. This movement to abolish grade crossings on the island was started by Borough President Cromwell and Commissioner of Public Work L. L.

Tribus, who obtained the approval of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment for an appropriation to produce a tentative plan. The movement is said to have the approval of the Staten Island Railway app officials. At the last legislature a bill was passed appropriating $250,000 as the state's quota of a fund to be used for eliminating grade crossings in the city of ew York. Of this amount $200,000 is available for Queens borough and $50,000 the borough of Richmond. This means that grade crossings elimination to the extent of $100,000,000 may be made In these two boroughs.
