The matter of the petition to the Public Service Commission for a gate way in the fence between the tracks here has been given consideration. George C. Tatem and John G. Deubert represent the signers to the petition. 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 the complaint of residents of Bellmore, Town or Hemp stead, Nassau County, New York, in the matter of the installation of a gate or passageway through the fence at the station at Bellmore. In September, 19 P 9 , in accordance with an order of your Commission, we erected a fence between tracks throughout the length of tlm station platform at Bellmore. There can be no doubt but that the erection of this fence adds very ma terially to the safety of the public at this point, and it is with regret that we note that complaint has been made to your Commission relative to the ab sence of a passageway through this fence. We feel that the installation of an unprotected passageway will create a condition more dangerous than that which existed before the erection of the fence in September last, and inas much a» the petition received by your Commission contains the names of but three regular riders of the Long Island Railroad, I venture to suggest that this petition should be thoroughly in vestigated, with a view of determining whether or not it is a concensus or opinion of the patrons of this Company or a desire on the part of the local people to pass more freely from one side of the track to the other without using the public highway. A — this reply has been sent h Tatem a t Bellmore,more, L.

Referring to the above, we have had no knowledge at any time that resi dents of Rockville Centre, Baldwin, Merrick, and other villages have com plained because there was a gate-or passageway between the tracks, a t the stations in their villages.
