Wamphassuc Point Property Owners Ass'n v. Public Utilities Commission

Supreme Court of Connecticut

Decided April 4, 1967PublishedCited by 10 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtHouse, J.

This appeal was taken by the public utilities commission and the trustees of The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company from a judgment of the Superior Court which sustained an appeal from an order of the commission directing the installation of safety protective mechanisms at a railroad crossing in Stonington. There is little, if any, dispute about the basic facts in the case, and there is unanimous agreement that the crossing is an extremely hazardous one requiring protective measures. The real dispute appears to be over who should pay for the installation.
