Show New Street Signs f for r Salt Lake T THE THE HE project under the direction of Joseph J. J Gill city traffic supervisor to mark streets in Salt Lake City by painting street names and numbers on intersection utility poles is an excellent one Street signs have not been maintained properly in the city and it has been the cause of numerous complaints especially from newcomers We would like to excuse the city by saying that the faulty maintenance of street signs is a result of wartime limitations on metal but the fact is our signs have not been well maintained in previous years when it if was not a question of materials The utility pole signs painted in white against a black background should work well as an emergency measure al although although although al- al though it is doubtful whether that would be a good permanent method of street signing The important thing in street signs however is not the method used but the way the signs are maintained That's where we have fallen down in the past By all means lets let's have the signs painted on utility poles and then lets let's put into effect some plan for maintenance of street j signs that will keep them in good condition |
