Signs indicating the moralist is coming to a stop sign will also be installed. This action was taken in the wake of protests that the yield signs are impractical And not obeyed by motorists. 1 Mr.

"and Mrs. Ralph Wadsworth 'and Holland Stark, who attended the meeting, said an accident Saturday at the intersection in which Sheldon 'Kinney of Sidney was seriously injured points up the fact the yield signs are not ef- cfctive. They added that motorists assume Pearl Street ia through fetreet.and either Jail to see the yield signs or are contused by fhem. i The board also approved installation of stop signs on Sharon Street at the intersection of Sun- jset Street.

Stuart Burrows, 11 Center St. proposal for signalization the West Main and Pearl Street intersection, He said numerous residents have indicated a need for a light at that point because of heavy Scjn- tilla traffic at shift change time, and the large number of students from Pearl Street School and the Senior High School, who use the intersection. Mayor Thomas J. Mirabito read a letter received last spring from the New York Traffic Confmission pertaining to a survey of the in. tersection conducted in February by the commission.

The letter states that a vehicle and pedestrian count during the busiest hours was well below the s'tandard for signal, control; and that the school guard stationed at that crossing is competent to guide the children across the intersection. The survey was requested by the village board at the instigation of Dr. Robert B. Cody, districl superintendent of the Sidney school system. SIDEWALKS ASKED Mr.

and Mrs. Wadsworth also asked that consideration be given to installing concrete sidewalks on Sunset Street. They said all of the property owners have agreed tha the walks should be installed on the north side of the street, from West Main to Pearl Street, ant the cost to be assessed against properties on both sides. They pointed out that children en route to and from school now walk in the road and also play in it, a situation termed extremely haz. ardous.

A petition for such a sidewalk presented last year was turnec down because one of the persons concerned was opposed to the move. This man has since changed his mind, according to Mr, Wadsworth. The board' advised them that since several of the properties on the street have changed hands since the first petition was pre sented, a new one should be ob tained before action can be taken In other business, a petiton for paving and 1 curbing of Spruce Street was approved. The project will be included on next year's work agenda. VILLAGE DUMP CONTROL Also discussed was a proposal that rigid controls be put into effect regarding use of the village dump.

It was reported the dump is being used by out-of-towners; and that repeated fires are creating a serious problem. Suggestions to correct the situation included installation of a gate at the entrance; appointment of -a guard to supervise the area; licensing of all professional trash collectors; and specific hours for dumping by individuals. Action was tabled until next week. Mayor Mirabito was authorized to renew the lighting contract with the New York State Gas and Elec trie Company, with the stipula lion that one minor clause in the contract submitted be modfied. Village Engineer Duncan Adair was authorized to procure a usec pick up truck at a price not to exceed $500.

Mr. Adair reported paving o. Camp Street and 225 feet on Pear Street West is completed.
