INDIANA PRISON WILL MAKE ROAD AND AUTO SIGNS

The Indiana state prison, located at Michigan City, is going into the steel sign manufacturing business on a large scale. Arrangements have been made with Gov. .Goodrich to manufacture street, danger ana road signs, and automobile and motorcycle license plates. Delivery of next* year’s auto and cycle license plates will begin on Nov. 1, Warden Fogarty says. He expects to save the state $150,000 next year on the road and license signs. Large contracts also have been signed with authorities of other states and cities for similar signs. Indiana is adopting a uniform and systematic flan of road marking under an act of the last legislature, which provides that each county must purchase and maintain road and danger signs, to be paid for out of the automobile license fund.
