-‘CITY NEWS --?'Watérloo and ‘Kitchenexf " mo ~more. Street Decorations Waterloo‘s King Street deâ€" corations this year may be something quite different than those last year. The PUC has requested that the city underâ€" write a third of the cost of placing highly colored Christâ€" mas signs two feet below King Street light units from Wilâ€" tiam to Laure] streets. Counâ€" eil is considering this request. The PUC‘s plan is to place the signs, four by eight feet, on every second pole along the thor@ughfare, said Ald. James Bauer, who was asked by PUC PLANS FOR THE Waterloo Centennial this year will be disclosed at a dinner meeting on Friday night of this week. This is a onceâ€"inâ€"aâ€"lifetime affair and should have all the attention that such an *câ€" ecasion warrants A lot of good men will be placed on committees which have been formed to insure the success of the Centennial.. Even so, they can‘t do everyâ€" thing themselves and should be given as much help as posâ€" sible. This is one occurance in which the average â€" citizen should be just as interested as are those men held responsible for making it go. How about that?

For chairman Howard Scheifele to bring the item to council Thirty of such signs would cost $2,247 of which the city‘s share would be about $750. Erection, removal, storage and insurance of the signs would be included in this cost. Could Be Used Yearly It was thought that these signs could be used year after year and the frames and bracâ€" kets could be used to adverâ€" tise Waterloo‘s centennial and the band and folk festival. They would be made of masonâ€" nite. The fact that Kitchener used these signs on a smaller sca‘e and therefore they would not be original. Ald. Hughes felt that the Christmas Trees were a much better idea. Ald. Bauer said the experts felt these signs would be spectacular and that Christmas trees could be added later. Ald. Bauer, Norman Ratz and Hughes were named to meet jointly with the PUC and chamber to discuss the item further. Assistant â€" traffic â€" engineer, David «Fraser, told Kitchener Lions â€" Club â€" members _ last Thursday night that many Kitchener â€" intersections _ will probably be physically redeâ€" signed to increase their caâ€" pacity. After an engineering study now under way is completed changes will likely be made at these points, Mr. Fraser said. The movement of vehicles and number of pedestrians in each direction is under study. The necessity for signal corâ€" trols and possible changes in present signal installations is also being considered A study of all accidents at these points during the past five or 10 years is closely conâ€" nected with the intersection study. Studies Underway Studies are also underway of oneâ€"way streets, yield signs,, speed zoning studies, "no stopâ€" ping" regulations and a sign standardization program. !
