KEEP TO RIGHT SIGN PLACED
KEARNEY AVE., MARKET ST.

The keep-to-the-right sign that
has been in position at the entrance
to the city hall park at Market
street wi be removed and placed
at Kearny avenue and Market
street, according to an announce
ment made this morning by Chief
of Police Niels ]. Tonnescn.
The change is made owing to The
fact that the sign at the park en-
trance has caused considerable con-
fusion to motorists seeing the sign
and at the same time noticing the
arrow calling for a circuit of the
park. Incidentally, the downward
slope at the Market street terminus
of Kearny avenue, coupled with the
heavy traffic along Market, has
made it advisable to place a sign
at that point, ~insuring a wide turn
by automobiles coming out of Kear-
ny avenue. The new sign is expect
ed to do away with many possible
tiles of accidents at that point.
