the purchase of street signs was
adopted:
- Resolved, that the sum of 5000. 90
be appropriated for the purpose of
purchasing street signs, and that the
committee on streets and bridges be
given authority to order as many signs
AZ said amount will purchase, said
signs to be similar to the one now in
position at the intersection of Second
and Main streets, and that said COM
mlttee shall cause such signs to be
placed at such intersections in the |
business district as they may deem
advisable and in the manner desig- |
mated in the report of said committee. |
The committee reported in part as
follows:
1--WE have secured cata!ugs from
various firms and find that the four
way, raised letters, all metal sign |
made by the American Sign Company
of Clyde Ohio, seems to meet ali the
requirements.
We have therefore caused a sample |
of such sign to be sent us and we have
had the same placed in position, on
an unused gas lamp post, at the inter
section of Second and Main streets,
where the same shows up to good |
advantage.
Such signs can be purchased for the
sum of 81 SO at the factory. This
two street name plates, In
scrIbed on both sides, and brackets
with which to fasten the same to the
post
Under the head of unfinished bust
n ess, the mayor called attention to

the dumping of garbage at the Smith

and the culprit be caught if possible
