RESOLUTION•
I
-'.#yJHruREAS, during the past several years,a number of serious
automobile accidents have occurred at the Intersection of I111 is
Paved Highway Routes Number 47 and 71, which point is located
about one mile south of Yorkville, Illinois, and
WHEREAS, in ss.id accidents quite a few persons have been
fatally injured, including in one accident 3 members of one of
Yorkville' s most highly respected families, and a number of
other persons have sustained more or less serious injuries therein
and
WHEREAS; we feel that an even more serious accident than ii
heretofore will occur at s!- id intersection inasmuch as said in-11
tersection is crossed a number of times a day by School Buses
transporting pupils to and from the York,01la Public School, and''
WHEREAS, it is our firm belief that said junction of said '.
highways is a very dangerous one and said accidents have occureld
because of obstructions there and because the topography of thel.
land at said place is such that a clear view from other directiohs
cannot be obtained by an automobile or truck driver approaching',
said intersection, and
WHEREAS; we believe it is more important to save a human
life, which should be held most sacred, than to inconvenience
any truck or automobile driver.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT AND IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that we
respectifully petition the Division of Highways of the Illinois'
+'
Department of Public Works and Buildings to immediately designate
said intersection as a so-called „Four Way Stop" intersection
and place the appropriate markings therefor, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a certified copy of this reso-i
lution be either mailed or delivered to the Honorable Thomas B.°
Casey, Director of Public Yorks and Buildings of the State of
Illinois at Springfield, Illinois, with the respectful request
that said "Four Way Stop Signs" be erected at once at said
intersection. "
