Iowa Roads With Concrete Signs.
A plan whereby every main travelled
road in Polk county and, eventually,
every main highway in the state will
be marked by appropriate signs, is be-
ing put into effect by G. F. Ballet Of
Des Moines. Mr.. Ballet already has

seven feet in length are installed for
every sign. The sign board itself Is
constructed Of heavy material and its
dimensions are 32x52 inches, allowing
plenty of space for printing directions
for the benefit of tourists.
Many of the posts have been install
led in Polk county during the last two
months and it is expected to have 500
of the markers placed on the Polk
county roads by next year. 1t is plan
ned to extend the system throughout
