Mr. Letner of the Highway Commission told the Mayor that we cannot replace our school light unless we go to their system, which would cost the amount of the estimate furnished by Nate Moore. However, we can maintain the light as it is. We would have to consider if we have a new lighting system would it make it unnecessary to have someone watch the crossing. Highway Ordinance. Mr. Letner informed the Mayor that the ordinance had been passed by a previous council giving up our access rights except as stated in that ordinance, and the Highway Commission must have the same ordinance (except for listing the accesses in the approved manner) approved by the Council in order for the Commission to receive money due them from the government. The last legislature amended the Code so that the Highway Commission now has the prerogative of setting the speed limit on any highway.
