Lincoln Town House Commission.

Inc prOmpt manner III Wnlcn Souncll-
man John Dillon OF the Cumberland Town
Council handled the grade crossing matter
is but added evidence TO that gentleman's
ability for the position he occupies. A
CounciIman's position IL not simply to
make or create ordinances, but his or their
primary duty Is TO protect the lives and
property OF the citizens OF the town. The
grade crossings, particularly since the
change In the schedule OF the consolidated
road went into effect, are a source OF much
danger to citizens who are compelled to
cross the tracks at these points.
The resolution which Mr.. Dillon intro
duced at the last meeting of the Council
has had It's effect and the lives of some OF
the citizens will, In measure, be protected.
Credit Is due not only to Mr.. Dillon, but
to his associates on the Board for passing
the resolution.
Such measures as these, backed up by a
determination to have their rights respect
ed, show conclusivcly that the present
Council are governing for the masses and
not for chosen few.
