reco~x~endation of the Safety Council that mast arm type signals be installed
on Third Avenue at the intersections of "F", "G", "H" and "J" Streets, stated

Mains was of the opinion if diagonal parking is done away with, the mast arm
type signals would not be needed, but was desirous of Having them installed
prior to budget time. Councilman DeGraaf stated those directly involved in

the parking pattern in the area.

budget time.
