MAYOR NECOTIATES
FOR STREET SIGNS
Proper Designations May
Be Obtained as N. Y. A.
Project
1880 KiIoeycles

Mayor Patrick M. Perriello said
today that negotiations have been
almost completed for the installa-
ton Of new street signs about the
city as an N. Y. A. project. He ex-
pressed confidence that details re-
naming can be worked out salts
factorily. The city's share, as spon.
sor, will be extremely small, the
mayor said.
The program now under consid-
Grafton calls for the placing Of new
street signs on poles already stand
ing In the down districts, but to
erect new cement posts In residen-
tial districts and In outlying parts
OF the city. The poles at each In
tersection would have the names OF
the streets painted on, and street
numbers covered In each block
would be listed.
A location suitable for q head
quarters for the project is now be-
ing sought. The mayor said that
probably one Of the city's school
buildings will be chosen.
AAc PtUJCOs Woulu AuCnu 6u CA
penditure Of only 1915 on the part
Of the city, the mayor stated. It
may be that broader program win
be arranged, with the cost to the
city remaining at only $500 or $500.
The mayor has had several con-
ferences with WPA and NYA Of
ficials about the project, and said
that their approval Is virtually as
slired.
