ELIMINATING THE DANGER
(By Telegraph.)
(Special to "The Evening Post.")
AUCKLAND, This Day.
At the opening of the new overhead bridge at Newmarket on Saturday; the Acting-Minister ■ of Railways, (the Hon. F. J. Eolleston) said that the only, method of eliminating the danger of level crossings was to eliminate the crossings themselves. The, policy of his Department was to make the level crossing reasonable for pedestrians and motorists, but it was impossible to make any crossing safe for a careless person, and local bodies had a responsibility as well as the Government, and where the council, as in the case of Newmarket, proved it was willing to assist, the Government would do all it could to bear tv" cost of erecting the overbridges. / i
