H. Cooper today said there are approximately" 17 amilies in Calhoun County and A motion to regulate the speed of trains passing through Oxford was introduced at the Oxford City Council meeting Monday night. A petition from residents along McKibben Street protesting-the-use-of 4he-street by garbage trucks also was introduced and discussed. Walter Merrill, attorney for Southern Railroad, said most cities have an ordinance which regulates the speed of trains to a rate that is reasonable and proper. It was brought out that an exact speed limit would not be practical because of changing traffic conditions throughout the day.

A train passing through ai 5 p.m. would naturally have to go slower than one at 2 a.m., he said. The ordinance introduced states- that it shall be unlawful for a train to be'run within the corporate limits of Oxford recklessly or at a speed greater than is reasonable and proper, having regard to the width, traf fic on and the use of the streets and of any other condition then exUtingr aLsucharateoI speed as to unreasonably en danger lives or limb of any person. Any person violating the ordinance would be guilty ot a misdemeanor-and-would be4in ed no less than $1 or more than $100 or imprisoned in the city jail or sentenced to hard labor for a period of not more than 90 days. 4 A final vote will be taken at the next meeting on July 15.

A motion was made to ask ths city attorney to draw up an ordinance to make McKibben Street a no truck route, and to make all outside haulers- get a permit from the city council in order to use the city dump. This action was taken due to a petition signed by those living along McKibben Street. They complained of garbage trucks dropping refuge on the street as Todays military and civilian specialists, with headquarters and, most major operations' centered "at Redstone. Other personnel of his command are stationed at missile test sites and with operational Army missile units throughout the world. Weapon systems under General Eifler's -direction include the operational Pershing and Sergeant ballistic missiles and Hawk and Nike Hercules air defense guided missiles.

Others are the SAM-D and Redeye air defense systems and such land combat systems as Lance, Shillelagh, TOW and Dragon.
