“MONEY WELL SPENT”
DANGEROUS RAILWAY CROSSINGS EXPENDITURE ON ELIMINATION (Per United Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, June 16. “An amount of £ 200,000 has been allocated by the Main Highways Board for expenditure on the elimination or improvement of dangerous railway crossings, and I think it will be found in future that the money has been well spent,” contended Mi’ C. J. Talbot, a member of the board, when addressing a meeting in the city. “ The expenditure of thousands of pounds will be justified if it results in the saving of human lives.” 1 In his opinion overhead bridges, or subways, were better and safer than level crossings, although they were not always cheaper.
