Baldock, Division Engineer,
Says Work of Making High
ways Safer to be Done.
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." '

WIRE FROM BARiRATT
Does a wire received here this
morning from , W. B. Barratt, state
highway commissioner, mean that the
commission on its Eastern Oregon trip
wont have any time for a look at the
Important but neglected Pendleton
John Day highway. In his wire Mr.
Parratt merely Mated that the sched
uled trip from Hcppner to Grant
Grant county had been camelled and
said the arrival of the commission In
Pendleton is indefinite.
flii' susnielnn that the cnmimlsslon
f might t'iot lolly realW the Importance
of this Investigation urgent telegr'niuH
ha.ve been forwarded to the commis
sion nsl(.'ng that the trip be made
and that people at Long creek, ITklai,
PiM Itoek and Pendleton be. given a
hearing on the subject. Grant coun
ty pei pie are Joining in this request.
So long have these people waited fir
the promised Investigation by the
state highway board that there will bo
some "wild Indians" between here
and tlrant nounty if the commission
nes not give the road some attention.
The fact is noted that the commis
sion following Ha trip to the Joseph
ine county eaves ordered a $35,000 ex
penditure on a three mile bit of road
to that point and It Is felt that the
commission should also
eratlon to roads that are needed from
a business standpoint as well as for
sightseeing.
