Gentlemen:
It has been reported to me by several residents on Kinsey Street, that
trailer trucks are using this street as a short-cut in order to circum-
vent the traffic light at the intersection of W.Main and 5th. The street
is narrow to begin with, and the trailers are breaking the limbs from
the over-hanging trees.
III have investigated this situation, and suggest a "no trucks allowed"
sign to be placed at the entrance of Kinsey at N.W. 5th Street.
Thank you !
Yours very truly,
/s/ Robert C. Law
