STREET SIGNS MISSING.
Much Confusion to Tourists and
others


Much confusion has been caused all over
the city recently. particularly to tourists
visiting the national capital, because so
many street signs are missing. No par
ticular complaint has been made to the local
government on this account, but. In a state
ment issued today. Commissioner Macfar-
land explains the circumstance and its
causes
1T seems that prior to three years ago
the District owned all the signs as well as
other equipment belonging to the street
lighting service" said Mr. acfarland. but
Congress made a change In the law, with a
view to reducing expenses, by which the
companies awarded the contract for street
lighting are required to furnish all the
equipment. This means that whenever a
contract for street lighting changes hands
contractor will necessarily be removed and
q corresponding delay Will ensue in getting
the new service in shape. The difficulty
could be very easily obviated as far as the
street signs are concerned IL the law were
changed SO that the District could purchase
and own the signs, formerly. The new
contractor would then be required to adapt
his lanterns to the District signs and they
would be merely transferred from one set
of lamps to the other.
street signs have been missing from the
WelSbach gas lamps since July 8, 1905, at
which time the lanterns and signs belonging
to the former contractor were removed TO
allow the new contractor to equip the posts.
The contract was awarded SO late in June
because the first bids were rejected as 100
high-that 1t was not possible to have the
signs made and delivered in time to be put
on with the new lamps When the first ship
ment of signs was received they were con-
demned as being unsuitable, which caused
delay of at least ten days, in which TO
make new ones. portion of the signs
have now been received and most of the
lamps are equipped with them. The bal
ance will be put in place by the end Of this
week"
