Sayer, Pro-Tem. Councilman Gleason seconded this motion, and the question being put, the
notion eras carried unanimously.
Two Hour Parking reinstated.
Councilman Mueller stated that the council should recall that active enforcement of the
ordinance providing for a two hour limit for parking upon certain streets had, by action of
the council, been terminated for the period of the war. Inasmuch as the actual fighting had
come to a close, rationing of gasoline had been lifted, and the traffic problem in this area
was becoming acute, he recommended that the provisions of said ordinance be again actively
enforced, enforcement to begin October lst in order that proper notice could be given, and
so moved. This motion was seconded by Councilman Carroll, and upon call for a voice vote
motion was declared carried.
Re: Traffic Signal.
Councilman Benedetto stated that he felt that the traffic signal at the corner of "Rater

This matter was referred to the Committee on Police and License.
