RAILWAY CROSSINGS
Eliminations Planned
(By Telegraph—Special to "Tribune.”)
WELLINGTON, Sept. 16.
The Government has arranged for the Main Highways Board to proceed with a vigorous programme of railwaycrossing eliminations, according to the Minister of Public 'Works, the Hon. R. Semple, in his annual statement to the House of Representatives to-day. The Minister said that already a large number of grade separations were in hand, and within the ensuing twelve months he anticipated that many of the most dangerous locations -would have been dealt with. Within the next two years it was hoped to dispose of the majority of the present crossings, thereby removing a considerable source of danger and preventing accident and loss of life which unfortunately result from the failure of road-users to observe adequate precaptions when negotiating those danger spots.
