intersection of the highways named above is within the corporate limits of the City of Stratford which automatically requires that i t be clas­sified under the third provision of Commission Minute No. 14097, which is as follows:

"Third, the Highway Engineer shall be authorized to i n s t a l l signal lights at highway crossings with prominent streets inside the corporate limits of cities of less than 2,500 population, conditioned that the municipality in which such signal device may be installed w i l l pay for the cost of the power and operation", and whereas,

This intersection i s located near the edge of town and is re­garded as s t r i c t l y a highway intersection by the District Engineer rather than an intersection of a highway with a ci t y street, and whereas

I t is the recommendation of the Oistrict Engineer that the City of Stratford not be requested to accept the responsibility of operating and maintaining this signal but that the signal be operated and main­tained by the Highway Department,
