Object to
‘Sign Petition Asking That Heavy Traffic Be Banner,

council committee to which it has
been referred. But while College-av home owners prepared to support the ordinance, the motor trucking industry was lining up forces to prevent proposed routing of all northeast truck
‘traffic on Keystone-av when the
present paving is completed. Keystone-av Route Suggested
