Particular attention will be devoted | £ to signs, imitating official markers, many of which are popular with eat- ing stands. “Stop” or “Warning” signs, accompanied by the informa- tion that Possum Glory Inn is just aP- 500 feet ahead are frowned upon by the Department as needless distract- ing the attention of drivers. The in Many signs om private property will disappear during the drive. The procedure to be followed is for the caretaker to inquire of property own- ers whether permission has been granted for the erection of such signs near the roadway. If not, caretakers will remove the signs. When per- mission has been granted and the signs are not within the legal right-of- way they cannot be disturbed. The most noticeable improvement expected as a result of the campaign is removal of tattered, weather-beat- en and neglected signs that have out- lived the agreement under which they were originally placed. With co-op- eration of the property owners these will be pulled down and the blemish- es removed. Cardboard, cloth, tin, steel and wooden signs, commonly called “snipe” signs, are the center of the wholesale campaign to clean up the roadside. Every variety of unsight- ly daub and tattered blurb will fall before the army of caretakers. Eee.
