Of the old National road through Rich
mond with attractive signs placed on
at least two trolley posts in every
block
These markers are painted the ma
tional colors and announce the fact
that the National road is q part Of
the National Old Trails route, which
is to extend from coast to coast, be-
ginning at Washington and terminal
ing at Oakland and Los Angeles, in
California.
To Amend Ordinance.

en- that there was a city ordinance
which prohibited the placing of signs

markers could be put up.

terestingly of the plan for promoting
the great national highway, and the
Indianapolis members congratulated

fine condition the old National road is
now in.
