To eliminate the gas passing from
the chlorinating units to the atmos-
phere, Schutte-Koerting Obnox-
ious Vapor Condenser System has
been designed. We are at present
engaged in obtaining quotations and
deliveries on the equipment needed
for this installation. We shall put
forth every effort to have these
units installed as quickly as possible
under present conditions. This sys-
tenn utilizes a milk-of- lime slurry
to neutralize any acid gases before
they are passed into the atmosphere.
The capacity of the acid abb
sorbers should be adequate to take
care of the absorption of any
quantity of hydrogen chloride pass
ed through them under normal OPP
Grating conditions. We are INSTALL
ing flow and pressure controllers
on our chlorine lines to make the
absorption condition constant and
with more absorption efficiency.
With these controllers and a den-
sity controller on our muriatic acid
product line, we should get a mini
mum of hydrogen chloride liberated
at the vent lines; however, to alb
sorb the last traces of acid gas pass
ing from the vent pipes, we are
designing a second obnoxious vapor
condenser. This project is also re-
ceiving our constant attention. War
time conditions have caused these
projects to move somewhat more
slowly than would ordinarily be ex-
pected but we shall continue to fol-
low up this work until this con-
dition is cleared up to the salts
faction of all interested persons.

Communications and Reports from
City and Other Officials
Honorable Common Council
City of Wyandotte
Gentlemen:
Your communication dated March
II. 1945, relative to the installation
Of manually controlled traffic
signals on Eureka Avenue. was con-
sidered by the Board of County
Road Commissioners at their meet
ing of April IL.
We note that Wyandotte proposes
number of corrective and control
measures to minimize the exposure
Of school children to traffic hazards.
In our experience all of the pro-
posed measures seem to be Of un-
questioned value for pedestrian pro-
lection except the two traffic signals.
The proper use of controls Is very
important In accident prevention
and this is particularly true of traf-
fic signals, which so often are in
stalled and operated to the dis
advantage of both pedestrian and
vehicular traffic.
In this case, signals are located at
both 5th and 9Th Streets, with the
signals operated manually from in
side the school house would make
it difficult for the operator to see
clearly the conditions at both cor
ners. Also, in order to permit traf-
fic on Eureka to pass through both
signals without stopping twice, the
green period on Eureka would be so
long that pedestrians would not be
willing to wait. If signal were In
stalled 1t would seem better to place
it directly in front of the school
house entrance.
Extensive Investigations made by
the City of Detroit, both in Detroit
and in number of other cities,
showed that traffic signals alone
were poor protection for school
