<br /> ,
<br /> "I MOST RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BE PLACED AT THE INTERSECTION I
<br /> OF EIGHTH AVENUE AND OAK STREET, BEING THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN THE COURTHOUSE AND THE I
<br /> COUNTY JA I I.. UNLESS SOMETHING IS DONE TO CONTROL TRAFFIC AT THIS INTERSECTION, SOONER I
<br /> I
<br /> THE WAY CARS CROSS THIS INTERSECTION AND I
<br /> OR LATER SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED. I
<br /> WHIRL TO THE RIGHT IS NOTHING LESS THAN ATROCIOUS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ACCIDENTS AT
<br /> THIS INTERSECTION BUT, FORTUNATELY, NO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, BUT IT IS A QUESTION OF i
<br /> A VERY SHORT TIME UNTIL THERE WILL BE A TRAGIC DEATH AT THIS BAD POINT UNLESS IMMEDIATE I
<br /> STEPS ARE TAKEN TO CONTROL TRAFFIC. I
<br /> I
<br /> I
<br />I MANY DRIVERS OF AUTOMOBILES HAVE NO CONSIDERATION FOR PEDESTRIANS BUT ASSUME THAT I
<br /> THEY HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY AT ALL TIMES AND UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES AND AT A VERY HIGH
<br /> I
<br /> AND RAPID RATE OF SPEED. I
<br /> I
<br /> THIS DANGEROUS INTERSECTION WAS VIVIDLY BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THIS MORNING BY ONE I
<br /> I
<br /> OF OUR ATTORNEYS WHO WITNESSED AN ALMOST TRAGID ACCIDENT. A CAR WHIRLED AROUND FROM I
<br /> EIGHTH TO OAK WITHOUT WARNING AND THE MOTHER OF A SMALL CHILD BARELY SAVED THIS CHILD
<br /> THIS 11 I
<br /> FROM DEATH. IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. j
<br /> THE CITY MANAGER REPORTED THAT THIS INTERSECTION IS INCLUDED IN THE 26 INTERSECTIONS !
<br /> PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AND WILL BE INSTALLED NEXT YEAR. I

<br /> "WE HAVE FOR SALE THE PROPERTY AT 1374 WILLAMETTE STREET, WHICH I S A LOT 74 FEET
<br /> ON WILLAMETTE BY 160 FEET DEEP. IN THE WRITER'S OPINION, THIS WOULD MAKE AN IDEAL CITY I
<br /> PARKING LOT AS IT IS CLOSE DOWN TOWN AND I S ONE OF THE LARGEST LOTS LEFT AVAILABLE BETWEEN
<br /> 17TH AND THE DOWN TOWN BUSINESS DISTRICT. i
<br /> I
<br /> I

<br /> THANKS KINDLY FOR YOUR CONSIDERATIONS. 11
