At a recent meeting of the Clearwa tel' Federation of' Civic Clubs, the request of' the North Shore Association for a stop Sign or Stop Lip~t between Sungurst Court and Drew St. wa s approved. The recent ~ata11ty at Engman St. and preVious one above Marshall St. on No. Ft. Harrison Ave. need no further proof' to show the necessity thereof. Furthermore there 1s an absence of' the general observance of the present speed law on said avenue between the north boundry line of the City and Drew St. and this coupled with many automobiles having dazzling headlights ma]tes any crossing of" the same hazardous and particularly to persons of advanced years aOO Blow of motion. Then too, So. Fort Harrison has better protection having several stop 11ght~ and No. }l"t. Harrison none north or Drew St. No. ~'ort Harrison Ave. has many ac- !ivities, apartments, tourist courts~ stores, physicians, a church, a publiC school, a public park, etc., and there is need for crossing said avenue to reach the Womans' 01ub, Little Theater, School, nursery and other things of public interest.
