' ' Vj.i. ; 7 Samples of signs on exhibition In the engineer's office show-a decided super iority-over the present tin excuses that have been battered by wind and weather until -nothing but a -faint trace shows, to mark what was once a street name. The signs that will probably be adopted are long, enameled plates - bearing the street name In 'letters of white on a blue ground. . These signs have, the enamel burnt on a heavy Iron plate and will last for years, the letters are of good height and can be read for several hundred feet. t These enamel street plates are made by several dosen firms-In the country and will be the form adopted' by the city, the awarding of . bids hinging on the price and not the. quality or kind of sign) as this has practically been decided. Just how soon the plates will be placed after the bid has been awarded is un certain, as it is not known whether the successful bidder . will be near or far from the city nor how long it will take to fill the 11.000 order. The engineer's office is confident that the signs can be placed very quickly -after they are re ceived and it may not be more than a month before Portland finds a belated Christmas gift In her civic stocking and is able to go about without employing aJ messenger, .boy, to show. her. the way. sir.
