structed.
It is recommended that these signs be erected immediately after the present
school term ends.
The Public Safety Committee further recommends that specifications be drawn
and bids be advertised for, to install:
1. Pedestrian actuated traffic signal on 14th Street N. E.,
East of 3rd Avenue and the entrance to Silver Lake Park;
2. A traffic actuated signal at 14th Street and llth Avenue N.E.
3. A relocation and updating of the present school crossing signal

Respectfully submitted,
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE

them and they thought they should be installed. After further discussion a motion was made by
Hanlon, second by Perry, that the original motion be amended so that each of the 3 recommended

The motion made by Day, second by Hanlon, that the City Attorney be instructed to
prepare an ordinance repealing the Sunday Closing Ordinance (made on April 13, 1964 and tabled
until this meeting) was again before the Council. Alderman Day stated that he did not think
the present ordinance was workable and was being enforced, that he and his wife*had purchased
many of the articles (just the night before which was Sunday) that were not supposed to be
allowed. Mr. Phil Sternberg of 1405 - 8th Avenue N. E. was present., he stated that he operated
a gift and souvenier shop, he cited that this ordinance provides that he can sell cups and
saucers if he stamps them as souveniers bur he can not sell just the plain cups and saucers;
he said he can sell cigarettes which are detrimental to health but he can not sell planters fort
sick patients; he said he did not think the Police Department knew what to enforce and he'
certainly did not know what to sell. Reverent Allen Sackett of the Seventh Day Advent Church,
Rev. Vernon Curry of the Universalist Church and Rabbi Joseph Schachter of the Jewish
r
congregation each spoke and urged that the Council consider a Saturday option. Dr. Paul
Andreini of 863C Homestead Village was present and suggested that the ordinance be repealed
or that merchants be allowed to choose any of the seven days of the week to stay closed. Mr.
Don Frerich of Frerichs Hardware at Miracle Mile and Mr. George Tesar of The Dayton Company,
each spoke in favor of the presentordinance and urged that the Council keep it as it is.
After about two hours of discussion, President DeVries called for a vote on the original
motion that the City Attorney prepare an ordinance repealing the Sunday Closing Ordinance, and
upon roll call Day, Hanlon and McCaleb voting "aye" and Eichten, Perry, Wilson and DeVries
v oting "no", President DeVries declared the motion lost.
A motion was then made by McCaleb, second by Day, that the City Attorney prepare
an ordinance amending the present Sunday Closing Ordinance to include a Saturday option and
upon roll call Day and McCaleb voting "aye" and Eichten, Hanlon, Perry, Wilson and DeViies
voting "no", President DeVries declared the motion lost. Alderman Hanlon stated that he voted
"no" on this question because he did not feel it was a legislative function but it did not
alter his position against the ordinance.
Upon motion by Wilson, second by Hanlon, and all voting in favor thereof, the
meeting was adjourned until 7:30 o'clock P. M. on June 15, 1964.
