Newspaper Page Text1 i t ,j Petit ion Sign Change New City Bypass A petitionfrom 57 Salem ousi ress firms protesting the listing signs and markings of the new - Salem by-pass highway will be read at Salem City Council meet ing, Monday night ' S ; . 'The firms, service stations, mo . lets, eating places and others, " want the by-pass plainly marked as a truck route by-pass. The petition asks the city's aid in re questing the state highway de partment to install these signs.? i t "We are not objecting to the : by-pass iisetf.H said Mrs. Donald Real, motel owner, who circulated the petitions. "But we feel that existing signs at the by-pass junc tions at both ends of Salem are such that travellers are not made aware of the fact that they are missing Salem." ;'. i f '. j Mrs. Rear, who with her hus band, operates the Castle. Hall Cottages, near the I South 12th Street Junction, said sHrs of hr petition are business firm owners j on the north and south aradies .to. Salem plus some downtown firms. ' ' : j Letting tourists know that Salem xists-and yet not destroying' the effectiveness of the new Salem by pass highway appears to be the goal of several groups of, local businessmen, r ' j I Early last week spokesmen for service station, motet and eating place operators complained that the recentlyned by-pass, PylSS diverting a . large share of the through traffic around Salem, was seriously hurting their' businesses. , Purpose of the by-pass route which begins some five miles south of the city and at Hayesville about two miles north and skirts 'the eastern edge of Salem,, is to take through traffic away from the downtown congested zones and residential areas. , And highway officials, after making traffic counts; say it has been doing this very effectively. '"Too effectively," Is the com plaint of the business groups, i "We are solidly for the by-pass," said a spokesman of the affected business interests late last week.

I; Capitol Visitors 'j I I "But we believe that the tourist who is looking for a place to eat and sleep and to just visit or look around our state capitol should be permitted to do so." . . i After making , their initial com plaint public early last week, mo tel and eating place operators have been holding unofficial discussions in quiet corners. . T No official announcement has been made but it is known that several 'points of interest are be ing discussed. i f: One concerns the possibility of pointing out to tourists,' either by signs or other media of informa tion, the facilities available in Sa lem for their convenience. t Teurists Uninformed "The way it stands now," said a spokesman, "tourists approaching Salem by-pass junctions are not sufficiently told, by signs or any other method, we think, that Sa lem is. here and ready to serve them." I One representative said' that a recent i Chamber of Commerc bulletin showed that many Amer ican towns, by-passed by high ily provided they let the traveller know they are still there. f Eastern Flights Grounded by Fog 1 ' .
