REGARDING Joe Ojeda, President of the Tustin Chamber of Commerce
PEDESTRIAN was present and was asked what he had in mind for the
CROSS WALK meeting. He stated that menbers of the Chamber of Com-
MARKINGS merce as well as others were concerned about the cross
walk striping of the streets. He thought that, there
should be two full stripes across the streets and that
they should be larger stripes for the protection of the
pedestrian. City Attorney Nisson pointed out that the
matter was in the hands of the State as according to
law they had full jurisdiction. The matter of full
stripes at school crossings and that they should be
painted before school started was brought up and
Councilman Charleton moved that the City Attorney again
confer with the State Highway Department and also with
our Street Department to be sure that the work be done
before school started. Councilman Miller seconded the
motion. Motion carried.
GAS TAX Councilman Miller placed himself on record that school
FUNDS children should not be allowed to cross the highway
between the street crossings. All members of the Council
were in agreement.
City Engineer McBride spoke on the matter of the Gas
Tax allocated by the County to the City and explained
that the Council had been in error in believing that
monies so allocated could accumulate and stated that
the expenditure of this fund must be made not later
than May, 1950. He stated that there was about $900.00
credit from the last allocation available at this time
and that he could arrange with the County that work
could be done before the dead line so that the City
would not incur the loss of this fund. Council in-
structed Engineer McBride to work out the matter ac-
cordingly. Councilman Gray moved, seconded by Council-
man Charleton that the next allocation of Gas Tax
Funds by the County be spent on First Street, between
D and Prospect Sts., and the Engineer was instructed
to prepare the papers for the project. The motion
duly carried.

TRAFFIC SIGNALS survey and contacts made regarding Traffic Control
