The proposal was made by Alex- - E. Mansour Jr., state traffic engineer, at a Friday afternoon meeting with the Salt Luke City Traffic Adviso- ry Council. Mansour asked for and received council support in helping the highway department remove the unneeded signals. He said some of the signals cause accidents, and there is no reason for signals to stop the predominant traffic movement. He said there are eight unwarranted signals on the state highway system in Salt Abraham Symposium Scheduled Abraham Symposium, featuring historians, an Egyptologist and others skilled in ancient records, will A Book of be held at the Salt Lake Institute of Religion, west chapel, 3rd South and University Street, Friday noon.

These intersections are on 2nd West and 300 North, First South and at Sixth South, and on 13th East at Yale Avenue, at Seventh South and at Third South, then two on State Street at Kensington and Westminster Avenues. There were 26 accidents last year on Westminster and 24 at Kensington Avenue, at State Street, he said. In 1967 there were 12 acciand dents at Westminstei State and in 1968, 23 accidents. Mansour also cited an example of safety achieved in vehicular movement after removal of an unwarranted traffic signal. The signal at 13th East and Emerson Avenue, was moved a year ago. Since that time there has been one accident whereas there were three before the removal. There are so many warning type signs (black on yellow) in Salt Lake City, that they are a hazard rather than a warning to the motorist, Mansour said. Where these signs impede or create hazards they will be removed. He said a highway department truck will begin this cleanup campaign the first week in May. The traffic council members also cited the need for a permanent ticket booth for ticket sales in the downtown Salt Lake area. Members said they would attempt to get such a booth established.

Congress in 1967 wrote into Social Security amendments an experimental Work Incentive Program (WIN), very similar to the work incentives of the Nixon plan, said the association statement. The statement continued : When this plan was analyzed by Frederick B. Arner for the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress a few months ago, he reported, Almost every element of the WIN program has been disappointing.
