Vroman opened debate on traffic viola tions during the city council meeting Monday night when he pointed out that he had observ ed numerous violations of the Chicago Avenue school stop lights during recent weeks. Speaking from the floor, Vro man pointed out that the life of Plattsmouth school children are in danger unless the stop signs are enforced. That was all the city father's needed to launch discussion on methods of controlling violations both speeding and passing stop signs in the city.
