The second reason was that the

ROAD SIGNS MAY
HAVE WRONG
EFFECT
Advertising Signs Sometimes
Confuse Motorists

Branding unnecessary danger
signs and STOP signals used for
advertising purposes along public
highways as being dangerous, many
automobile clubs affiliated. with the
American Automobile Association
with the cooperation of the State
Highway Departments are campaign
ing for their removal.
In some of the Eastern States
where the traffic on main high
ways is heavy, instances are re-
ported where automatic flash stop
railroad crossing" signs have
been put up by national advertisers
800 feet in advance of a spur track
crossing the highway where the
tracks are used once or twice q
month, just because the location
was ideal from an advertising stand
point. On the same highways where
these signs were needed they were
often found missing. In New Jer-
sey at wide place in the road. a
cut-out painted figure representing
traffic officer and semaphore on
the arms of which are painted the
words stop with the name of
the tea house underneath, blocks
traffic. The figure of the traffic
officer is so realistic under the
glare OF headlights that motorists
who are not acquainted with the
deception will instinctively obey the
semaphore.
In Connecticut the State High
way Department has requested the
Motor Vehicle Department to have
removed stop" signs placed by
property owners in advance Of pri-
vate roads leading from the homes
to- the main highway, maintaining
that 1t Is the duty OF these owners
to stop before driving onto the
main highway.
The danger of the use of warn
ing signs or stop signals on the
highways where they are nor re-
quired makes the motorist who has
been fooled" by unnecessary signs
careless when he approaches a
warning signal which is properly
placed for his protection, points
out the touring and transportation
bureau OF the A. A. A. It is the
purpose Of the A. A. A. clubs to
check up on the use Of warning
signals on the highways in their
territory and take such steps as
may be necessary to have mislead-
ing signs removed.

A great opportunity to secure high

scented at the next meeting CT the
city council for the admittance of the
section to the city.
Generous sized lots have been laid
out, most of them so by 140 feet
in size and some of them larger. The
lots are high and dry lying as they
do on a table land that provides fer
the best possible drainage. From a
Genie STANDPOINT it could not be bet
ter, since a beautiful view of the rest
of the city is given.
Water and gas are available to all
residents of the addition whenever
they are ready TO have these conven.
ience for the buildings they put up.
The corner of the addition Is only
n block from the South Side school

Fifteen statesmen are now in the
field offering prospective home own
