Show THE FORUM EDITOR THE FORUM: Now that the Road Commission iu threatening to build the concrete ro A into Bingham and have actually stalled stall-ed to prepare the detours, we avo so pleased in the anticipation of the joy of the canyon drive that we may forget for-get other much needed improvements which, are lrnpoitanPiAu the convenience conven-ience and sftfety of the public. One or two of these improvement might be mentioned at this time. For Instance, suppose a movement be .started to properly mark the Bingham highway, go those who wish to do so may conveniently find their way to our town. The people of Blnghrni should see to it that at each fork of the road from State street Jo Bingham Bing-ham Canyon, adequate signs and directions di-rections should be placed so thrw ? not familiar with the road would have no difficulty in making the trip. Recently Re-cently the rOads have been provided with turn, or curve signs which are very necessary and rdd much to the safety of the motorist. Another thing we would like to see is the installation of a lighting system sys-tem for the highway from Redwood road to Bingham. Most al! r.i in thoroughfares throughout the country coun-try are lighted a-nd we see no reason why the Bingham highway should be an exception. Prrt of thla road, especially espe-cially that portion composed of "To-peka" "To-peka" or Black Top, has several curves and is exceptionally hr.rd to see at night. Several fatal accldeuta have occurred on this road rnd from the standpoint of public safety this improvement is worth while. MOTORIST. |
