minimal effect on the intersection. Alderman Mabbett spoke in favour of
four-way STOP signs. Alderman Laking spoke in favour of a four-way STOP

but not of reversal of the present STOP signs as had previously been suggested.
Alderman Wright spoke in favour of four-way STOP signs and asked also that
