SAFETY.
Gross Crossings Cautiously"

Gross Crossings Cautiously
1t seems painfully obvious to en-
phasize this slogan. 1t seems that
people might be spending their time
to better advantage than in reiterating
the wisdom of this cry. And yet &C
cidents at railroad crossings continue.
In 1920 there were nearly 1000 peo-
pie injured in automobile accidents at
such crossings. The number grows
yearly. There is but one way to stop
this terrible. increase-educate the
people, and keep at it.
Educating the people is what the
American Railway association, the
United States Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, the National Highway
Traffic association, the National
Safety Council and other organizations
are trying to do. They are emphasiz-
ing the Importance of Stop, Look,
Listen" these days especially.
Certainly it is worth while to take
a moment from the reading and
thinking of other things and form
the determination to use care espe-
cialy at crossings, whether driving a
car or a horse or merely walking,
Loud are the denunciations of rail-
ways for failure to take precautions
to warn travellers on the highways
These denunciations are deserved.
But carelessness. lack OF thought
on the part of those who approach
railroad crossings are common. Con
tributory negligence" is common in
law as in fact. Make it a point to
acquire the habit of instinctively be-
coming especially alert when the rails
of a track are in sight.

COOPERATION.

A movement is on foot to lower the
wholesale price of gasoline in this
city. 1t is said that it costs about two
cents more gallon here than in
nearby towns. President LOOMS of
the Chamber of Commerce directed
communication with New London to
the end that cooperation might be
established in the fight to lower the
wholesale price of this near necessity
In the matter of the Clayton cross
ing Mayor Paonessa seeks the coop
Grafton of the Chamber of Commerce,
and members of the council suggested
that Newington be asked to aid also
in the effort to make the crossing
safe.
In the matter of reduction of troll
ley fares the cooperation of the
mayors of other Connecticut cities has
been asked 1t may be that in this
latter matter the different circum-
stances may make the situation differ
ent in various cities. A five cent fare
might be wise in one locality, and I'M
wise in another. But this is a detail
which does not destroy the value of
the growing appreciation of the wis
dom of cooperation.
OF course the power of trusts those
cespised but effective organizations,
lies in the fact that there is Cooper
alton carried to its highest degree. All
component parts are portions of the
whole. Cooperation is the only pos
slble means of securing success in
many of life's activities. The man
who goes it alone" is pretty apt to
fail. So with the institution or ma
ton. The fact is becoming more and
more evident every day AS educa-
ton develops a man or people, there
develops also the recognition of the
need of the assistance and good will

WHO'S THE POWER?

A practical example of what the
city meeting board may and may not
do, and what the common council
may and may not do cSmes up with
the news that the fire commission will
need $4,000 more money than that
authorized by the city meeting board
in order to pay the salaries to the fire
department desired by the council.
Fixing salaries rests with the coun-
oil with the exception Of the school
salaries. The state attends to them.
But the city meeting board appropri-
ates the money The opinion of the
council as to salaries seemed to diff
fer from that of the city, meeting
board. The council stood its ground
despite arguments that it should bow
to the will of the people as indicated
through their representatives.
The trouble was there was doubt
as to whether or not the city meeting
board intended to provide for a
straight ten per cent cut all down the
line. The council determined that it,
at least, did not want that sort of
economy. 1t is uncertain today
whether the city meeting board want
ed it or not.
The granting of the extra 10000
will come before the board, if it gets
that far. The larger body will then be
able to say whether, in voting for the
lower budget made possible by the
ten per cent cut it intended to reduce
the pay of the firemen. If the board
refuses to grant that extra $4,000
and it may be taken for granted that
it's vote is a repetition of it's wishes
formerly expressed, another compi-
cation will arise. The intimation will
then come that the board wanted to
cut salaries other than those of the
fremen. Thus it would be possible to
make 1t necessary to bring up be-
fore the city meeting board all the
salaries over again, and the wishes of
the board would be made clear. This,
if it is found extra sums are needed
in departments other than the fire de-
partment.
Probably. in the future, the atti-
tude of the people toward council
members who supported and who OPP
posed action of the city meeting board
will influence the 'unwritten law"
that will arise fixing the custom of
the council-whether to obey or die
obey the wishes of the city meeting
those wishes are.

Mr.. Quillan, the paragrapher, does

can have no local application: 1t is
worthy of note, nevertheless, as are
many of his paragraphs.
No matter how accurately a report

man or woman, and no matter how
correctly they may be printed in a
newspaper, they are quite likely to
shock the man or woman who uttered
them. 1t is merely a case Of a speak

blame someone else for drawing an
uncomplimentary picture of us, think
a moment before we insist that we
never assumed that attitude. We may
not have intended to take lust the
stand our plain words suggested, but
examine what we said and did, see if
our words and actions were not re.

THE TWO-PLATOON

Real study OF the two-platoon sys-
tom should be undertaken now that
there seems to be a chance of the
city's promise to the firelnen being
fulfilled, II ever matter has been de-
cided II is that the people believe the
nremen should have this aid In main
tanning the efficiency characteristic OF
the department. The Herald advocat-
ed the plan as one involving justice
and a recognition OF the value of
progress.
That there will he an added ex-
pense to the city there may be no
question The added expense need
not be great, it has been stated, II
careful planning is made. But there is
every reason to believe that the added
expense will not be burden; rather
the people of the city will receive
dividends from their investment in
consideration of the working condi-
tons of these of their employees
An adjustment of wages may be
necessary. The hremen will undoubt-
eddy meet the arrangements made in
the proper spirit. The firemen should
remember that the main reason for
adopting this new system will be con-
sideration for them. and not consid.
Grafton for the taxpayers. The tax
payers-all property holders will
benefit. it is believed. But the proper
ty owners would have undoubtedly
failed to serve the benefit to them
selves resultant from granting the
two-platoon system had they not
wanted to make the working condi-
tons of the firemen better.
