Nathanson that tho wholo thing has beon denied by this Board and tho whole prooe .. wst be started over again in order ,to get the appropriation before the Board •••••••• and the two reasona whY tho Committee deniod this, are. (1) tho City - the Polioe Oepertmont roels vory strongly that tho Lighting Co:t:pany is responsible for fuin, this domagod light booaus. they fool that what happonod was tho result or a high tension wiro relling on tho traffio light end ruining oortain parts of it.

(2) tho .eoond reason for donying tho appropriation, vas thst thoy folt that more serious study should be liven to altor­nate division of traffio in that area and that thore is the thought that if you just reverso the trafrio flow on Old 1I0rth Stamford Road, that you would have an oaoy rillht turn thare without tho n.od Cor a red and ,roon light.
