George Harper Ald Harper made the sugges tion Monday during city coun cils discussion about hiring an adult crossing guard for Mul caster and Codrington streets He said if parents of children going to St Marys school are concerned about crossing de lays at the intersection its matter of changing the hours of the school to not conflict with thetraffic The biggest traffic time is at the noon hour he

Ald Jim Perri said the major problem at the intersection is the amount of traffic He said the guards are not allowed to let children cross the street unless there is break in the traffic The student guards have no power to stop traffic and have to wait for the break he said dont think adult guards are the answer Ald Perri said the city should install some pe of traffic signal lights wi push button operation for the Codrington and Mulcaster intersection Its dangerous intersec tion and the traffic is very heavy he said Ald Ross Archer public works committee chairman agreed saying adult crossing guards are not necessarily the very best arrangement But neither are the lights he added He said there are two basic reasons for wanting an adult hired even though the student safety patrol has an excellent accidentfree history There is long delay etting the children across in tersection and the adults have the legal authority to stop traf fic he said Ald Archer said the city police department has in dicated it is very happy to co operate with training and in structing an adult crossing guard if the city hires one is the subject of special feature by Examiner Re porter Sheila
