The committee also re- commends that Roosevelt Avenue be established as a truck route,, instead of having the route through town. It was recommended that stop signs and crosswalks at 4th and ?Roosevelt and at 13th and Roosevelt be relocated to stop the traffic East and West instead of North and South, and that Roosevelt be made a boulevard all the way from Main to 18th except at 8th. It is felt that the timing on the traffic signal at 18th and National and Roosevelt should be changed o allow left turns by trucks on Roosevelt. COUNCILMAN':ARCHEN brought up the matter as to whether or not it wouldbe legal to establish a truck route through town and then stop it in the middle of the City, which 18th Street would be. Should it be continued on National Avenue from 18th Street to 32nd Street? ATTORNEY CAMPBELL said he did not know whether or not it would be legal, but he thought it would be advisable to have it all the way through town, and if a truck route is going to be established, it would be his suggestion that it be through town. JERRY HARRIS, Chairman of the Traffic Safety Committee, was present and stated they did recommend that Roosevelt Avenue 4/21 218 be made a truck route, but he was sure the Committee would favor a route through the entire City.

Mr. Davis who has the contract with the City for the salvaging of materials on the tidelands is not opposed to closing it. It may develop into a health menace and he would like to recommend that we allow about 30 days to have the City Manager close that trash dump and make it presentable. CITY MANAGER RHODES said he did not know what effect this would have on the City's contract. MAYOR CARRIGAN said he can find nothing in the contract that would have any effect whatever. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the contract provides that Mr. Hynum must Comply with all the rules, regulations and ordinances of the City, and it might be well if a resolution or ordinance is prepared setting forth the facts that it is a health menace. CITY MANAGER RHODES said if the rubbish is burned ev cry week there will be no menace. The complaint received the other day was due to the fact th they had not burned the rubbish for a couple of weeks. COUNCILMAN MCCLURE said he would like to see the dump eliminated. Moved by Sarn, seconded by McClure, that the City Manager and City Attorney get 'together with Mr. Hynum in regard to this matter, and the City Attorney prepare the necessary resolution or ordinance.
