I The first will be the eonsena

weed em:ro meeting that after

One of the problems confront

completed to install tlr.'m.
A couple of months ago the
Soroptimist cluo and the ehum-j
ber of commerce started a cam
paign to raise money for the
lights. The campaign was suc
cessful and the lights ordered.
Now the lights are ready to put
up but the highway commission
rays "No!", they can't lie hung
over a state highway.
After an interchange of num
erous letters between Leslie
Grant, chamber committee chair
man in charge of the project, and
the highway commission, and a
survey of the need by an engi
neer from the department, a re
cent letter from II. II. Baldock,
state highway engineer, said
that " . . I could not recommend
to the state highway commission
that permission be granted for
the erection of these flashing
beacons."
Baldock stated in his letter
that the highway department has
found that flashing beacons have
little effect on traffic and that it
is the commission's opinion that
they Impart a false security to
the children which might lead to
serious results.
He further stated that he had
recommended the installation of
four 42 inch school crossing signs,
two on Main street at the Tum-A.
Lum Lumber company crossing,
and two at the crossings at the
Intersection of Court and May
streets. It was also recommend
ed that the crosswalks be
changed at the courthouse inter
sections and that head-in park
ing in front of the court house be
eliminated. lie also suggested
that a schoolboy paired lie estab
llshed. though this had been
givn up by school officials be
cause of the length of time the
patrol would have to operate
due to the staggered hours that
children of various ages arrive
and leave school.
City Joins In
Though for the moment,- it
looks like the project is stopped,
the cily council joined in the
program when, at its special
meeting Monday night, it ex
1 r'serj its approval of the pro
'..'ct and will write to the state
higi.w; y department requesting
ti,.r they allow use of the lights.
Grant also plans another attempt
to convince the department of the
need for the blinkers, for he
plans to tape the matter up per
sonally with highway officials
within a short time while on a

In the meantime, the cross
walks remain unmarked and the
blinker lights remain in storage.
