Pedestrian The Mayor reported the injury of a person on our pedestrian cross walk crosswalk recently and raised the question of more policing injury in that area. Treasurer Olsen, who said he had just returned from an auto trip thru the east, reported that the school police idea was used effectively on pedestrian crosswalks in many communities. He said high school students were employed, that they stood on the curb off the street and crosswalk, using long poles with suitable signs attached to warn approaching motorists. It was agreed to refer the matter to the Public Safety Commission for study and report. Police It was reported that since James ~~aller was unable to serve as a part time police officer, the Public Safety Commission had recommended the appointment of Kenneth Schmidt.

Fireman Question was ra~;sed as to Fireman Stanley P. Schultz being Schultz entitled to a salary of X285.00 per month on the basis that salary, he had not passed advanced first aid course as required under X280 per mo. Section 7, Ordinance No. 31. Fire Chief Swanson was called to the council room and his letter of June 5, relative to Ordinance requirements passed by Schultz was read, stating that Schultz was the holder of current "Standard" Red Cross card. Asked if he~is qualified to give instruction in Advanced First Aid, Fire Chief Swanson said he has not kept up his card. In referring to the minutes of June 8, 1955, it was pointed out that increasing Fireman Schultze salary to 9285.00 per month was in error, and that the increase should have been to X280.00 per month according to the ordinance, Cartwright moved that the council do nothing about the two checks received by Fireman Schultz on the X285 basis so as to eliminate the need for changing book records and salary deductions already made, and that Fireman Schultz be paid on the basis of 93280 per mopth, commencing July _ 16, 1955.
