Also commented on, was an editorial which appeared in the Spokesman Review which related a city's unsatisfactory experience in giving free holiday parking. u _, Safety - Councilman rliron reported that residents in the vicinity of the intersection of 3rd Ave. West and 8th Street feel that something should be done concerning this intersection, as there have been three accidents at this intersection within the last year. The committee feels a stop sign is not warranted. Since 7th Street West is no loner an effective one-way street, the one-way traffic should be moved to 8th Street West. Since the high school parking lot will have quite a bearing on this, action will be deferred until the high school determines the location of the parking lot. The committee recommends the installation of a stop sign at the in- tersection of 1st Street West & 2nd Avenue West (the Spilde corner). Councilman Miron diagratmed the location of the recommended stop sign on the blackboard. The sign is to be placed to stop southbound traffic on 2nd Avenue West --the northwest corner of the intersection. Councilman Niron moved adoption of the report.
