Gentlemen: Attached is a letter from the Standard Oil Company re- questing that, in connection with the repairs and improvement of their gas station at the northwest corner of 2nd and Locust Streets, they be permitted, at their own expense, to eliminate 10 feet of the present park- ing in the middle of 2nd Street im- mediately west of the intersection with Locust Street and to provide new curb and new paving for the 10 feet of present parking which will be used for general traffic conditions. The present parking ends within three feet of the west property line of Locust Street. According to the new layout, the parking will be 13 feet from this property line. In connection with authority of this improvement, I have learned that the Park Board was given the exclusive control of this parking strip at the time of the paving of 2nd Street. Accordingly, the question was discussed with the Park Board today and approval was granted by said Board. This information is sub- mitted to you for a record. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman McEvoy moved that the communication of the City Man- ager be made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman Schuckert.

Gentlemen: In connection with the movement of greater traffic safety in our City, the following comparative traffic facts are hereby presented for your consideration: TRAFFIC ACCIDENT SUMMARY FOR CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA, Comparing January 1 to October 31, 1931 vs. 1932. Traffic Accident Date for 10 mos. 1931 1932 Total Traffic Accidents Reported 469 261 Traffic Injuries To Pedestrians 92 76 To Occupants of Cars 51 58 Regular Session, November 7th, 1932 307 Traffic •Deaths To Pedestrians 3 0 To Occupants of Cars 2 1 Better' results have been obtained • thus far in total traffic accidents, traffic deaths and injuries to, pedes- trians; however, more people have been injured while riding in cars this year than last year. In discussing this question at the City Managers' convention, the wri- ter pointed out to the convention that results, thus far, in 9 to 12 Council- Managed cities, entered in the National Safety Contest, showed fewer traffic deaths than last year. Dubuque, thus far, with only one death, as compared to five in 1931, is nearly at the top of the total list of participating cities. By reason of the competition saf- ety contest, our City has been assist- ed in prevention of traffic accidents by many local organizations, includ- ing the Dubuque Auto Club, Amer- ican Legion, Public and Parochial Schools, County officials, the local press, State officials in the enforce- ment of the Drivers' License Law, Public Utilities, Service Clubs and Women's Organizations. It is felt that the Dubuque citizens are becom- ing more traffic conscious. However, to avoid losing our ad- vancement in prevention of accidents and to provide for greater future co- operation, it is hereby recommended that the City Council consider the question of the appointment of a Local Safety Council, consisting of a group of local, prominent and capa- ble citizens who would act, without compensation, toward the study of greater local safety, who would rec- ommend to City Council their deci- sions on local traffic changes and pro- visions and who would contact at certain times representatives of every club and organization of the City. This movement has been sug- gested by the National Safety Coun- cil and is now in effect in quite a few cities. If you favor the idea, detailed suggestions can be obtained for the actual working of such a committee or council. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.
