I Also note that at the present time that the western light pole, and also the astern light pole have a red light on the top of same, but never the less, ? believe hat these constitute a defect in said Avenue, a.ne that a driver of an automobile d.riv- ng as their do under various weather cone. tions, is ver7,T liable to run into end against ne of those posts, am thereby suffer severe personal injuries4 or possibly loss of if e. •j It is probable, ho«iever, that any person viho is familiar with the location and ;the -posts will run into sar:e, but particularly this year, and on account of the World's Fp.i r tra ffic , i believe that there is very liable to be a very serious acc id ent occur, alnr under t',e present circumstances, I believe that the City mig'lt be held liable, but reg^rFless of t tie liability, the humanitar>>en e spe ct of it shpuT.d be sufficiently con- !sdered to cpuse the city to remove these posts. • • r am vriting this letter, nit as e crelicism of the city, nor for any reason � ',Flt it is of personal interest to rye, but rather by vray of a friendly suggestion res ec `- ully inviting your attention to this situation. ' p it �- e_ry resTr., ctfu1ly, i''loyd 0. J.1lison. In the ebove matter, the Clerk of the ic�^rd is ordeztc' to instruct slum. E. Qualls, superintendent of lights, to erect button d a.nger signal s a t the vie stern extriemity and a is at the eastern extremity of said clusters of lights on Western Avenue and thus avoid any possible danger to motorists at this location in the City.
