The matter of the petition to the;! Public Service Commission for a gate- i way in the  fence  between  the  tracks f here    has   been    given  consideration. ; George C. Tatem and John G.   Deubert I represent the signers to the  petitidn. i The answer to  the complaint by the ; Railroad Company to the Public Service ' Commission has been given us for pub¬ lication and follows:   J.   S.  Kennedy, Esq., Secretary of the Public Service Commission for the second district of the State of New York: Albany, N. Y. Dear Sir: Replying to tne complaint of residents of Bellmore, Town 01  Hemp¬ stead, Nassau County,   New York,  m the matter of the installation of a gate or passageway through the fence at the station at Bellmore.   In September, 19P9, in accordance with an order 'of your Commission, we erected   a fencex between tracks throughout the  leiqrth. of tl^e station  platform  at  Bellmwre.ii Ther9can be no doubt but that the? erection of tbis fence  adds very ma-; terially to the safety of the public at^ this point, and it is  with  regret that.J we note that complaint has been made-;: to your Commission relative to the tb-i sence of a   passageway  through  this^ fence.   We feel that the installation of ^ an unprotected passageway will create ] a conaition more dangerous than that ^ which existed before the erection of | the fence in September last,   and inas- ; much as tha petition^received by your; Commission contains the names of but i three regular riders of the Long  Island' Railroad,   I  venture  to suggest   that 'i this petition ahould be  thorough]]^ in- ¦'* vestigated, witlv a view of detemuoiiur whether or not it is a concensoa of opinion of the patrons of this Comniiftiy D or a desire  on   the  part of the lOcal | people to pass  more  freely  from one | side of the track to the  other without .3 using the public highway.    A  c(q>y ofl this reply nas been sent  to George C. ^ Tatem at Bellmore, L. I., and proof of such service is hereto attached.   Yours truly (signed) C. L. Addison, Assistant to tne President ¦  '
Referring to tbe above, we have bad no knowledge at any time that resi-' denta of Koekville Centre, Baldwin, Merrick, and other villages have com¬ plained because there was a gate«'ie)r passageway between the tracks, at the stations in their villages. We also note with some surprise that "only tliree signers of tae petitkm axm regular- ridera on the Long laland RailrMtd". Is it possible that ute rest of th^ sign- (Continaed on PjBgx: 8)
