Fire Signals (Continued from Page 1) find it difficult to break Into traffic on either street when leaving hearquarters in private or official cars, he added.

Resurvey Sought Spokesmen for the state party said they made no official observations yesterday at Munroe, Sewall and Fourth Avenue intersections on Main Street, the three locations where city officials have asked installations signals. Lights previously situated at the corners were removed in conjunction with the new Main Street traffic light program and the Bureau of Traffic Safety has declined to recommend their replacement. City Manager J. Oliver Armstrong recently asked the state to resurvey the traffic problem at the three corners. State officials said that a new study would take place if an official request for it was made.

A state spokesman said yesterday that the principal reason lights at the three intersections were eliminated was to permit effective operation of a stagger plan for Main Street lights. This allows a car travelling at 30 miles an hour to go the entire length of Main Street, being halted by only one light. The speaker said that lights lat the three corners in question would upset the stagger plan. SENIOR PAST PRESIDENT HONORED -Past presidents of the Rebekah State Assembly honored Mrs. Mary R.
