<br /> the violators, and if continued then action could be taken. Mr. Hy.de felt this
<br /> would be a very beneficial move toward making the city safe for children, pedest-
<br /> rians, and other. car drivers. The Mayor pointed out the fact that the S.E.R.A.
<br />I Committee did not think so much of the idea. The Mayor asked the Chief of Police
<br /> what his re-action was, and he reported the he could not see too much value in W
<br /> such a program, but felt that he had not had the opportunity to give it much .~
<br /> consideration. The Mayor then called on Councilman Simon who reported that his ~t.,
<br /> Committee had been working on diffenent forms of programs in the hopes of organ- ~n.~,'
<br /> izing a voluntary citizens traffic checking body who would operate by number only.
<br /> They would call the police station, give their number, the license number of the
<br /> car operated, and the violation. The police would notify the individual of the
<br /> offense, and on the second offense be would be brought into court. Mr. Hyde

<br /> ly take approximately 20 men off the relief rolls, and it would be very nice for
<br /> the city to do that. Councilman Simon said that he did not see where he could
<br /> spare the $12.00 0~$15.00 per month frpm his budget to take care of it. It was

<br /> no objection to it, and as a matter of fact they wanted it there, as the building
<br /> would look better with it. The Mayor asked Mr. Clubb to report on the Board of
<br /> Appeals' action, and he pointed out that the Board took their attitude because of
<br /> I the terms of the Zoning Ordinance. ~ Mr ~ Carlson spoke on behalf of granting him
<br /> this privilege. Councilman Lamb said he could not find any fault with the Board

<br /> ation. Councilman Hendershott moved that the report of the Board of Appeals be
<br /> rejected and the reouest be granted. Motion was seconded and carried.
