Honorable Mayor and Council,
City Of Wyandotte.
Gentlemen:
Your Special Committee, appointed
Ia investigate and report back on the
advisability Of placing street signs on
Biddle Avenue, same pursuant to a
certain communication from the Down
River Chamber Of Commerce, beg to
report as follows:
There are AZ streets intersecting Bid
die Avenue, requiring "a signs.
AT the rate of $7.37 per sign the
total expenditure would run to $692 70.
Since there is no. budget item to
cover expenditures of this character,
some provisions must be made for fl
nancing.
Should this request be complied with
1t will necessitate the changing of the
name of Biddle Avenue to West Jeffer-
son Avenue.
Your Committee had a conference
with Wayne County Road Commission
officials, and have reached the eonclu-
sion that the changing of the name of
Riddle Avenue and the Installation of
these street signs is unnecessary, for
the reason that street signs are now
installed all along Biddle Avenue and
further that the Wayne County Road
Commission have installed their signs
al main intersections, which we both
consider adequate for our respective
purposes.
Respectfully submitted,
Councilman George e.. Benin.
City Engineer +. w. Liddle.
