Show EDITORIAL KEEP THE NEW STREET SIGNS NEW In addition to the fine new main street lights recently installed, townspeople may also point with pride to the new street markers at the city intersections. The new signs, numbering approximately 2,00 in all, have cost the city taxpayers over $2500 in addition to the time spent for installation. They are attractively lettered, black on white enamel, new, clean, and neat looking, all-steel, mounted on uniform eight-foot poles set in cement blocks. They are a def- f inite improvement over the old street mark ers many of which were broken, bent and otherwise mutilated. Now it is the hope of city officials and the city in general that the markers will be kept new looking; that young and old alike will treat them as they would their own property, realizing that they are indirectly in-directly their property and to replace those which become bent or broken will be an extra expense to everyone. Visitors to Springville or others unacquainted unac-quainted with the streets will find the new markers most helpful in locating addresses. Of the 200 being placed about town, approximately ap-proximately 40 markers have been mounted on brackets attached to the light poles on Main Street. Perhaps some people have not noticed these new signs; many tend to take such things for granted. But anyone coming to Springville for the first time, will no doubt see them quickly and appreciate the fine new uniform direction aids. City officials of-ficials and city employees are to be complimented compli-mented on the fine project now nearing completion. |
