Stop Signals
Safety Need
Lebanon Whether or not a
stop sign on Grant street on the
west side of the railroad track
would be beneficial in eliminat
ing accidents was one of the
principal topics of discussion at
the city council meeting.
The stop sign at both this
point and signs on either side
of the track on Oak street had
been recommended by the pub
lic utilities commission follow
ing a recent survey here. The
survey is part of a statewide
measure to attempt to prevent
railroad crossing accidents.
David Don and C. E. Jaqua
of the PUC of Salem explain
ed their former written recom
mendation that the city council
pass an ordinance permitting
the railroad fo erect a stop sign
at these points.
Another matter of import
ance was a request by property
holders east of the Canal at
Isabella street that assistance
be given in the construction of
a bridge. They contended that
when the city recently permit
ted car bodies to be dumped
into ditches on property owned
by the paper mill, leased to the
city' for that purpose, flood
waters were diverted to make
their outlet road impossible in
cases of floods.
In response to a request for a
street light at Fourth and D
streets, an investigation was
made and it was found that ex
cept for A street, which was
well lighter, there were prac
tically no lights on B, C and D.
It was recommended that a sur
vey be made and that lights be
Installed wherever needed in
this district as soon as material
could be secured.
