 It is possible that a request may be made by residents of the Forest vile section of the city for the in- stallation in Forestville center of a traffic standard, thereby releasing the traffic officer for day beat It has been pointed out that the traf- fic would be regulated entirely as well by a stop and go signal and would also tend to make autoists approach at safer rate of speed knowing that the signal might be set against them.
 At the present time Forestville, which is known as the second taxing district. is assessed each year ap- proximately $5,400 for it's police protection. Of this amount, $50 is for administrative expense and s1o0 for executive service. On the other hand, Forestville receives no portion Of city court fines imposed for ar rests made by the two Forestville officers. This matter was brought up by Former Mayor Joseph F. Dutton a few years ago when a number of residents in the southern section of Forestvllle applied for the services of traffic officer to protect chil- dren on their way to and from school. However a new schoolhouse Is now in process Of construction in the southern end and the necessity for children to cross through the center will no longer exist. It is be- lieved when Pine street is made a state highway. plans having been ap- proved by the state highway depart ment, 1t will be necessary for the traffic officer to direct traffic on that street.
