ROAD SIGN REMOVAL PLAN IS CRITICIZED; CRAWFORD ANSWERS

Called by Death

In reply to the complaints against wholesale destruction of road signs along the state roads. Earl Crawford,

of Milton, member of the state highwar commission. Issued a statement

Monday, to the effect that any destruc

tion of signs at this time is not by the

direction of that body. "While It Is a state requirement that signs shall be a specified distance from the road instead of on the road itself," he said, "the commission has issued no orders for their immediate removal, nor does it contemplate any .such drastic action as has been reported. Will Clear All Signs "Our ultimate expectations are to have all signs cleared away from the highways, and none but traffic signs, guideboards and danger signs along the state roads. However, before we take any decisive action looking to

the removal of such signs as are on

the roads now, we shall warn advertisers who use these signs, or poster

companies owning them, and give a reasonable time, possibly a year, for their removal. We do not desire to work any hardship on property owners who have invested their money in these signs in good faith. "Our aim is to get our road sign system on about the same basis as Wisconsin. There it is possible to travel the roads at a fairly high speed without any danger, and to make detours on unfrequented roads, without getting lost, by the assistance of the unusually complete road sign system, which excludes all advertising signs." The highways of Wayne county which are under the control of the state highway commission are the Liberty pike. National highway, Lynn pike and the Connersville pike from .Cambridge City to Connersville. Complaints of sign destruction have come principally from owners of signs along the National highway west of Rich

mond. "If signs have been cut down," "concluded Mr. Crawford, "it has been done by adjoining property owners or by some over-zealous patrolman, but without any authorization from the state office."

Welcoime News to Prospective Home Furnishers

The Reed Furniture Company announces with no, small degree of pleasure that the new Fall prices on Furniture are now established throughout its large store and that the average price change is at least a third less than the prices prevailing last Spring. This should be most welcome news to the thousands in and around Richmond who have been awaiting such information. We make the above statement only after the most careful and far-reaching investigations, and assure those who intend furnishing a home that at Reed's, at least, prices have reached what authorities assert to be "bedrock." Many of our trade journals predict, an advance in the price of the better grades of furniture, and we are able to sense this condition because of a slight scarcity, even now, in a few lines, which condition is sure to spread to many lines as the Fall buying begins in earnest. It is the opinion, too, of those closest in touch with the situation that the person who buys now is heeding a valuable tip since prices will not go lower and assortments later will be lessened. Reed's new Fall Furniture is arriving daily and every piece is guaranteed as to Quality, Service and Price. The new period styles as well as the many standard designs are now shown in all the freshness and newness. Truly, there is no time like the present for furniture buying, and because the new low Fall prices are "established a double advantage is evident. You are most cordially invited to view our fine new displays of house needs, and to make selection for later delivery if desirable. Of course, all prices are marked in plain, readable figures you can wait on yourself if you like, or men thoroughly trained in the art of home-making will be pleased to offer their services. We'd be glad to have you come in soon
