County Commissioners Court has recently ordered five new traffic signal lights and one of them is for Carrollton and will be installed soon, The other four are to go one each to Vickery, Mesquite, Buckners Home and Highway 40, and Eighth and Corinth in Dallas.

There are already ten signal lights in operation in the county and Sheriff Schmid says he will ask the State Highway Department to approve those ten and the five new lights. When these have been approved, Deputy Sheriffs and State Highway Patrolmen will have the authority to arrest violators who disregard the signals.

The Commissioners County has contracted to purchase a fire truck and supply it to the city of Dallas in return for the city giving fire protection service to points in the county outside the city. The truck price is reported as being $17,416.20. Deliver of the truck is not expected before February of  1938.

The County Commissioners Court has approved the appointment of two deputy constables for Precinct No. 2. under Constable W. W. Parker. The new appointees are H. A. Coonrod and Bill Cox.
