that both railroad companies would be

of and whereas Council is informed
that the Delaware, Lackawanna and

railroad crosses Mill street, is opposed
to and will not permit the crossing OF
its tracks at grade by the said electric
railroad COMPANY, therefore, be 1T re-
solved by the Town Council of the
Borough of Danville that such cross
ing at grade on Mill street cannot be
