EUGENE SAUNDERS appeared before the Council urging a change in the signal light on South Congress and Monroe, to include an arrow for left turns for those traveling south on Congress Avenue. Councilman White stated that an arrow had been there at one time and was taken off for some reason he could never understand, and that he had been tying to get it replaced for some time. Councilman Long stated she had been aware of the situation and tried to get this put back. Councilman Long moved that the City Manager be instructed to have that left-turn light placed on South Congress Avenue and Monroe. The motion was seconded by Councilman White. Mayor McAden announced he had asked for a study from the Traffic Engineer regarding left-turn signals on Academy Drive, Live Oak and Oltorf. Councilman Thompson moved that the motion be tabled and that the Council go on record saying it was concerned about this CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 124211 proposition, and that the City Manager be instructed to have a survey made of the matter and do what is recommended; and if the Council were not satisfied with the recommendation, appoint a committee from the Council to actually make the study itself. The motion lost for lack of a second. Councilman White said that Mr. Klapproth's recommendation was that the left-turn light was not needed. Councilman Long likewise knew the recommendation of the Traffic Engineer on that particular street, and asked that the Council vote to put the light back in at Monroe, and then wait on the survey for the other streets. Councilman Pearson stated that all the Council, particularly he and Councilman White, were aware of the condition on Monroe and South Congress and had requested this light be replaced; and that he felt that the people wanted it in on Monroe and South Congress, and they want one at Oltorf and South Congress and also on Academy Drive and South Congress; that they had one at Riverside Drive. He asked if it wouldn't be better for the Traffic Engineer to report next Thursday on this. Councilman Long stated that they knew what they wanted at Monroe, as there was a light there at one time. She was willing to wait on the others, but the Council had the recommendation on that one, and it was "no". Councilman Thompson inquired as to when that recommendation was made. Councilman White stated it was some six months ago that he had a letter of the Traffic Engineer's statement answering his request. Councilman Thompson stated he could not go along without a report, and the reports he had had from the Traffic Engineer were that he did an intelligent and exhaustive job on checking into the traffic situation and that he is a capable traffic engineer; and that he Councilman Thompson) was not going to vote to put in anything until he heard from Mr. Klapproth. Councilman Long stated she was aware of this Monroe situation and has been aware, and been trying along with Mr. White, to get that left turn put in there for four years; and although Mr. Klapproth did not think it was needed, she was of a different opinion; that the South Austin people wanted it in there and felt it was necessary, and she was not prematurely making a decision; and that she had remarked the day before that she was going to vote that the light be put in there. Councilman Thompson was willing to ask the Traffic Engineer to make a study of this and then study his report. Councilman White stated he would go along with him if he had not already had a report, but Mr. Klapproth had checked it and checked it and he had said "no" everytime. Councilman Pearson stated he thought that Riverside, Academy Drive, Monroe, Oltorf and Live Oak all needed the arrows; but in all fairness to the Traffic Engineer, he thought they ought to get his report. Councilman Long amended her motion to read: that the City Administration be instructed to put in the left-hand turn arrow on Monroe immediately, and that it be asked to get the Council a study of Academy Drive, Live Oak, Oltorf and Annie Streets, back as soon as possible so that action could be taken on those. The motion was seconded by Councilman White. Councilman Thompson moved that the motion be tabled.

He stated Austin had an excellent fire department, well manned, well trained and doing a wonderful job. He stated the City had an outstanding Fire Marshall; an outstanding Department, and one of the best in Texas.

Regarding public safety, the Mayor announced that Austin had lost in the Safety Day, proclaimed by the President, having 17 wrecks. He stated it was something not to be proud of. MR. BILL DAY thanked the Council for the hospitality extended to the Demolay Boys. He outlined a program that he and some other young people had worked out, and showed the Charter for the Austin Youth Club. This Club had sponsored four amateur boxing matches at the Coliseum; but due to bad weather and other causes they had a $500 deficit. The Mayor suggested that he use the Austin Athletic Club which would be less expensive. Mr. L.B. DAY stated he felt the project was very worth while and had a future.
