In other words, should ,we not undertake to change practices which will cost nothing, rather than .change grades which will entail large expense and further burden already overburdened taxpayers? The taxpayers have generously taxed themselves to build good roads and have dope th.eir share in providing fqr the pleasure, comfort and safety of motorists., Why should they b burdened with taxes for grade changes because a few of the hundreds of thousands of automobile drivers elelt to engage in the dangerous and foolhardy practice of trying to beat the train at a crossing? s OF SALINA SALINA - UTAH Member Federal Reserve System JAMES FARRELL, Pres.
