POMEROY ON STAFF Ramsey Realty, 2084 Rivercrest Dr., has announced the addition of T. D. (Tom) Pomeroy to its sales staff. The Marion County Court was advised Wednesday by County Engineer Hedda Swart that build ing a footpath on Lansing Avenue for the convenience of Washing ton Grade School children was impracticaL The court had been requested to build; the path in a letter re ceived from Edwin W. Butler, 2215 Jelden St Butler had sought a. construc tion of a path similar to the one financed by the county for Morn ingside pupils. This latter path was built on South 12th Street at a cost of about $8,000. Swart said Wednesday that he would sug gest addition of 25 mile-per-hour speed signs on Lansing Avenue, but he said that the area near the School is properly marked. In! other action before the court Wednesday, a letter was received from Mrs. Ralph Schmidt Silver- ton. ; requesting the addition ot a wig-wag signal at the intersection of Lancaster Drive and the South ern !
