TO CONFER WITH
OTHER ORANGES
ON CROSSINGS

Cooperation on Proposed
Railroad Alterations.

In giving consideration to the plan
of the Lackawanna Railroad for
eliminating grade crossings the rail-
road committee of East Orange City
Council has deemed it wise to confer
with the other oranges to be affected
by the track changes. Councilman
Grover, chairman of the committee, IS
now making an effort to obtain a con
ference with the railroad committee OF
Orange Common Council, as the recent
, eport received from the corporation
contained considerable data concern
ing Orange changes. 1t is also prob
able that the South Grange authori
ties may also meet in conference with
the Orange and East Orange commit
tees.
The announcement Concerning the
conference with Orange officials was
nade by Chairman Edward S. Pierson
following the presentation of the set
OF resolutions by Edward K. Summer
well, passed by the New England So
ciety in which was stated that the
cities, without compromising. might
bear a certain expense where munich
pal benefits occurred, at stations. He
did not beIieve the cities should pay
any amount directly TO the railroad for
the company changes, contributing only
to such change as would benefit APP
p~earanoes in the city.
Mr.. Pierson assured Mr.. sumnerwell
that the Council, in conjunction with
the railroad committee, would deal
carefully with every point involved. and
that the views Of the society were not
far from those entertained by the
Council. MIR. Summerwell praised the
tactful manner in which the commit
tee was dealing with the subject.
