McGarry, chairman of the Parks Bnd Playgrounds Committee, reported that the community has been assured of additional school and playground facilities and exhibited a drawing show- the location, Thirty-seventh and [den streets.

It was also decided to msk for a retiming of the automatic signal lights at Wisconsin avenue and Macomb street. They are now timed @5 seconds for north and southbound traffic and 15 seconds for east and west bound.
