RESOLUTION
The city council of the city of College Station respectfully
requests that the street in front of the U. S. Post Office be
reopened to through traffic pending a study by all agencies con-
cerned of the problems of traffic control at the north gate
entrance to the campus of A. & M. College. Whatever the program
finally agreed upon may be, control of traffic along FM 60 will
devolve upon the city, and for that reason the council further
requests that the city be given the opportunity to participate
in the ultimate solution of this problem.
The council adjourned subject to call.
