after which, the following action was taken.

1. Kell and Brook intersection report.
No report to present at the present.
2 . Discussion on replacement members for the Traffic Commission,
Moved by Pat Halverson and seconded by Murrell Hooper, that it be
recommended to the Board of Aldermen that since the Highway Depart-
ment had ruled against any of their employees serving as active
members of the Traffic Commission; it be suggested that the
vacancies be filled from the following organizations:
In Orainance 1794, Section 30, parts 1 and 2 shall be
changed to read:
(1) One individual who shall be a recognized member of
either the American Institute of Architects or the

Traffic Commission Minutes
Page 2 May 12, 1960
2 . Request for removal of a loading zone at 1008 Seventh Street and
placing two parking meters in the space.
Moved by T. Herbert Brown and seconded by Pat Halverson that since
this area was public-right -of-way and since it was being used for
display purposes, it was recommended that two meters be installed for
the use of the public. Motion carried.
3. Request for driveway and placing of financial responsibility for its
construction at 1414 Fifth St.
No action was needed, as the Highway Department: had indicated
acceptance of responsibility.
4. Request for sicnalization of:
a, Norman and Jacksboro Highway
b. Windthorst Road and East Scott
a. iioved by G. H. Kirby and seconded by T. nerbert Brown that since the
intersection is a "T" intersection and since- the traffic vand since
the accidents and turning movements did warrant a nt subdivision
the closest signal is one mile away and that present
development will soon create an increase of volume, it is recommend-
ed that a signal be installed, as soon as possible, at Norman and
Jacksboro Highway. Motion carried.
b. Moved by T. Herbert Brown and seconded by rat Halverson that the
request for a signal at the intersection of Windthorst Road and East
Scott be denied, as the traffic volume only met the traffic warrent
for two out of the necessary eight hours, and none of the other
criterion were met. There is a signal that serves this same area
only one block away. 1vIotion carried.
A special discussion was held on the apparent need of backing from the

ordinances be enforced all over town. Motion carried.

TRANSIT COMMISSION MEETING
May 17, 1960 Tuesday 7:30 p.m.
City Council Chambers - Municipal Auditorium
Chairman Larry Lambert called the meeting to order at 7:45 p.m. . The
third meeting of the year.
The following members were present:
Larry Lambert, Chairman Oscar M. Simpson
Capt. Charles Beck E. J. Wininger
Tom Crane Also present:
L. F. Kuebecka Jack Hughes, Wichita City Lines
Mrs. Maxine Lee W. A. iilliams, 4ichita City Lines
Ben Ludy Pat Harris, Record News
H. A. Prestage Dean 0. Chadwick, Traffic Engineer and
secretary to Commission
Item 1. Operating and Financial Statement of the Wichita City Lines
A one year operating and financial statement, listed month by month, was
presented by Mr. Hughes and Mr. IpTilliams of the Wichita City Lines. A discus-
sion of the statement followed. Mr. Williams announced that four late model
(1958) 31 passenger buses are to be put into operation within the next month
or two.
Item 2. Church Survey Report
Form letters were sent to 92 churches within the city of Wichita Falls;
requesting a listing of all who would use Sunday Bus Service, if provided.
Twelve churches responded; with four indicating no potential bus riders
and the remaining eight churches having a total of 95 ir_dicated potential
riders. The lists were turned over to Mr. Hughes so he could determine if
bus service would be feasable.
Mr. Hughes reported on a chartered Sunday bus service, which operated for
four months with no charge to the rider. This schedule was serving three
churches, yet the most riders at any one time was eight.
Item 3. Proposed Bus Line Schedules for Placement at-Selected Bus Stops in
the Downtown Area.
A sample of the schedule, fabricated jointly by the bus company and the
city, was presented for inspection. This sample was the Ninth and Indiana,
northbound schedule. The cost of each sign was estimated at about $7.00 in
place cost to the city.
Lack of bus schedules at key stops has been one of the major criticisims
presented at the Transit Commission meetings. At the previous meeting (held
in March) it was suggested, the bus company ask the city for financial help
in providing a few permanent type schedules. The sample schedule is the type
of assistance the bus company desires to have.
It was moved by Oscar Simpson and seconded by Maxine Lee that, the bus
schedule signs, jointly prepared by the city and the bus company, be erected
at the following downtown locations:
Ninth and Indiana - northbound
Eighth and Indiana - southbound
Seventh and Indiana - eastbound,
westbound and southbound.
The motion carried.
The Chairman directed i`ir. Hughez to report on the public response and
comments to the bus schedule signs at the next meetin7 of the Transit
Commission.
Item 4. Chamber of Commerce, Public Transportation Committee Coordination.
Mrs. Maxine Lee, as the Chamber of Commerce Sub-Committee Chairwoman on
local city bus transportation, requested a discussion on "What can the Chamber
of Commerce do to assist or supplement the activities of the Transit Commis-
sion?" Mrs. Lee stressed the importance of public relations in all types of
public services and then asked what can be done to sell the bus.
