Traffic Death Survey Sought by Murphysboro PTA
Murphysboro officials consider joining a statewide traffic death survey to study accident causes and city traffic flow. Mrs. Frank Wilkerson says National Safety Council forms will be used and that the effort targets Murphysboro only. The plan echoes similar moves in Carbondale and notes past Jackson County costs from accidents. Mayor Williams supports participation to reduce crashes. Other business notes include opposition to an Illinois Central request, a December 23 meeting, and free parking in certain areas on December 24.
