4.J341V _ DETOUR GRADE CROSSING IS CAREFULLY GUARDED MATAWAN, July 12—Due to many narrow escape* from death or serious accident between motor ists and • trains at the Main street grade crossing through Cl iff wood during the past week, the state highway commission has caused the New York and Long Branch Kail •Yoad Company to place two flagmen * at this crossing to protect motor Hsts. The men were first on duty over the week end. Since the main highway through Key port has been closed, and auto mobiles have been forced to use the detour through Cliffwood to Mat awan, all cars cross over this gran* crossing a few feet south of the CLffwood passenger statue;. Many serious accidents have just i.een avoided and in one or two instances trucks have been struck by trains •Rt tl is crossing during the past month. It is impossible to see the -trains as they approach and this I makes the crossing doublv danger •ous. Some of the trains run over this crossing at a rate of .sixty m b s, on It*nr and that a serious accident nas not occurred on the cross ns is ’ c onsidered miraculous.
