The state highway commission I plans to begirt removing unauthorized signs from along state highways, ac cordilng to a copy of a letter which has been received by the East t)re gonlan from It. H. Baldock, division engineer, at La Orande. The danger to the public of . permitting these signs to remain In position, and the law which covers their removal are explained by Mr. Baldock In the fol lowing letter: . "As you are- probably aware, the state, highway commission has au thority to remove nil signs within the highway right, of way. However, we find in many instances the signs have been erected within a short distance of the right of way fences on private property. "In addition to marring the scenic bef.uty of the highways the signs ere. ate a hazard which Is ordinarily over looked, but Investigation has dis closed the fact that they have been the . cause of many serious accidents. Most , of the signs are erected in u manner to attrack the eye; the driv-' er's attention Is directed to the Sljn, and during the interval he is reading the sign he is watching the road, and there is danRer of an accident, es pecially if traffic is at all congest ed. ' "For your Information will state thaf a car tra.veling at the legal speed of 30 miles an hour is traveling at the rate of 4 4 feet per second or 2640 feet per minute. The average reader reads only about 180 words Per minute, or three words per sec ond. It will readily be seen that sign containing nine words will' hold els a distance of 132 feet, or morelltal, to rehabilitate Austria's indus than eight times the width of the tries, is under way. Henry Moreen driveway. There Is most assuredly a than, International banker, and form chance for an accident to happen er minister to Turkey, revealed today during the interval of time the di iv- j er's attention is drrected to the sign. There is no question but these, signs are a menace to the traveling pub lic. - "We have authority to remove signs which have been erected on property adjacent to the right of way without the owner's consent and we intend to take advantage of the law In this respect, but in those, cases where the property owner has given 1 1 nis consent it win ne necessary inr him to rescind this permission, and I would appreciate your efforts to wards advising the public of the dan- ser attendant upon signs placed with-i' in sight of the highways, with special reference to those property owners who have given their consent for the erection of signs."
