NEW STREET
 SIGN PLAN
City Engineer Halmquist
 Will Ask Council to Ap-
 prove Project to Decorate Manhole Caps With Iron Name and Number Plates

If city council will agree to the plan of City Engineer F. N. Halmquist, it will not be long before this city will have a system of street signs that will be useful as we'll as ornamental The expense will be so light and so divided that it will be scarcely noticed, while the character of the signs MT. Hahn quist has in mind is of that order which will insure permanency.
 Recently the city engineer received 8 sample of a wrought iron sign, one eighth of an inch thick. with the let ters drilled into the face and then painted white. Below the name of the street may be placed figures indicating the highest and lowest number of the houses in each block
 It is the idea of MT. Halmquist to secure such of these signs as are need ed from time to time and to install them upon the crown of the various manhole caps at the various street in terSectionS whenever a new manhole Is constructed There are to be four manhOles at each street intersection where the sewer has been installed, these manhOles rising two feet from the ground surface and to be placed within the curbing. The crown of these manholes, as now planned will be perfectly plain and would furnish an ideal place for the placing of the signs. This sign would be easily dis tinguishable either from the street or the sidewalk.
 MT. Halmquist says he realizes that the adoption of his plan would not mean that all the streets in town would immediately be decorated with signs but he thinks it would not be long be- fore they would be pretty well GOV cred at a comparatively slight expense to the city.

The three bullets entering the body came out several inches lower in the back. indicating the crOuching position of Martinez. The wounded mans pistol, d thirty eight caliber was picked up by his side and found to be fully loaded except for one empty shell, presumably the one from which the bullet had just been fired. Martinez is q stranger here having just arrived from MontezumC, Sonora. Mexico His death is expect ed in few hours as any one of the body wounds received would probably have resulted fatally.
