SIGNAL TERMED INADEQUATE: This grade crossing at the intersection of Summit and the Ann Arbor Railroad tracks has been termed worn out, obsolete, subject to breakdowns and difficult to see in bad weather by Parking and Traffic Department Supt. Theodore W. Vanderstempel. The City Council currently is considering an offer by the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad to split the cost on installing improved overhead signals. Councilmen were told the city must pay half because Wildt and Hiscock Streets run parallel to the tracks and enter at Summit near the crossing, thus requiring signals for these streets as well as Summit. No action date has been set.
