To Erect Street Signs,
Number Residences
The city officials have recent-
ly adopted a plan offered by the
Chamber of Commerce for erecting
street signs all over the city. Some
materials have already been pur-
chased and shaped up for the
sighs.
An effort is being made by the
Chamber of Commerce to secure
discarded 2 or 2'- inch pipe from
oil producers that will be used tor
posts. These will be set in concrete
in order to make sure that they
serve for some time.
The program is expected to take
quite some time to complete be-
cause all maetrials are not readily
available.
Investigation shows that num-
bers for numbering residences will
be available locally.
