October 18, 1972 Mr. Jerald Judge City Controller City Building 50 North Fifth Street Richmond, Indiana 47374 Dear Jerry, As per our phone conversation of October 16, this letter is to formally request consideration of a pedestrian light at Williamsburg Pike directly opposite the Alcoa plant entrance. The purpose of this light, as we had discussed, is to provide safe access for people traveling back and forth between our existing office building and our Purchasing Department, which as of October 16, is housed in the Pine Square Office Building opposite Alcoa. We anticipate considerable personnel traffic between these two buildings and are concerned that without a pedestrian light of some sort we run a serious risk of accident. I understand that the need for such a traffic light will be determined by Captain Scott Loper of the Traffic Division. We would be happy to have Captain Loper visit us at Alcoa to explain the specific circumstances to a greater detail . I thank you for your consideration of this matter. Very truly yours, /s/ Erick J. Laine Administrative Manager ALCOA This request was referred to the Traffic Division for their consideration and rec- ommendation. A Super Market Prices Comparison Report was presented to the Board by the Weights & Measures Inspector, Francis Daniels. Captain Scott Loper reported to the Board that Mr. William Reller, attorney for the Richmond Gas Corporation, had contacted him stating Mr. Misner was out of town and couldn't appear before the Board as requested. Captain Loper also informed the Board that the Miller Pipeline is now showing fine cooperation with the Traffic Division.
