With the object In -view of eliminating every grade crossing on Staten Island, and In the entire greater city, the Public Service Commission is sending Inspectors to take an observation of each and every crossing where there Is considerable travel during the day and night. Yesterday an inspector in the employ of the Public Service Commission was at the Amboy avenue crossing of the Staten Island Railway Company at Pleasant Plains keeping tally of every automobile, wagon, bicycle, motorcycle and foot pedestrian that passed over the crossing during the day from 7 o'clock in the morning until 6 last night. At 6 o'clock he was relieved by another Inspector who remained at the crossing until 11 o'clock last night. A report will be made to the commission, who will take the matter up It is the object of that body to eithei make the railroad company do with the grade or to force them to erect gates at the crossings where they are dangerous.

Some time age the Public Service Commission ordered Crook's crossing at Great Kills and the Amboy avenue crossing al Huguenot eliminated. Plans have been prepared and the work on these two crossings is expected to begin shortly. At the latter place the roadway will be lowered and at the former it will be raised so that trains will have to pass over a trestle. At present both these crossings have flagmen stationed day and night. At the Pleasant Plains crossing the flagman is only on duty from 7:30 in the mornfng until 6 o'clock at night.

After that until morning it Is left unguarded. Hundreds of Riitomobiiists passing over the Island are compelled to use all of these crossings.
