TRAFFIC TOWER RESTRICTION IS BEFORECOUNCIL Control of Only Three Corners Desired by Committee Member, Restriction of the traffic tower on Washington St. to corners at Illinois, Meridian and Pensylvania will be among traffic changes to be asked of city council tonight by Edward J. Sexton, secreary of the city's street car service committee. A letter from Sexton to Council President Walter W. Wise is said to have the backing of Councilman Otto Ray, with Councilmen John E. King, Heydon W. Buchanan and William E. Clauer favorable to some prel posed changes. The tower has regulated traffic at New Jersey and Washington Sts. and Senate Ave. and Washington St. for some time. Varied traffic conditions make the tower impractical outside the three congested downtown corners, Sexton said. Sexton also asked that traffic be permitted to turn east into Washington St. from Virginia Ave., regardless of the signal.

Washington St. now is a barrier to all traffic north and south because of long delays of the traffic tower, he said. Another effort to pass the city’s ten-year street lighting contract will be made tonight. Councilman Lloyd D. Claycombe saved the measure last meeting when he served notice that he would ask reconsideration tonight. A series of minor transfer ordinances up for passage tonight include one providing for gasoline sot police auto squads. At present, officers borrow • from the fire department.
