HAVE SIGNS TO
GUIDE TRAFFIC
Will be Painted and DistrIb-
uted at Once

Signs to be used for the direction
of traffic at some of the principal
street intersections Of the city ar
rived today. There are ten of them
and they will be placed at points on
Market street, Prospect street, Smith
street, State street and New Bruns-
wick avenue.
The signs are heavy In weight, be-
ing constructed of iron. The base
is a heavy piece OF cast iron, cir
cular In shape. Into this Is screwed
pipe, which is about two inches In

ners and thereby avoid accidents.
The signs were delivered in the
police barn this morning. They will

the points where they are most need
ed.
