“policemen" on two bad curves of
the Columbia highway in this city,
Two of them are located opposite the
hotey and another two ln front of
the Kellogg Motor Company. They
are made of concrete and anchored
to the road by means of an Iron rod
driven into the ground. Friday
night a car hit the one in front of
the Kellogg Motor company and
knocked it out of the ground.
According to City Marshal Pankow
the concrete disk was put in a« an
experiment and no doubt will soon
be taken up and replaced by some
thing more substantial, as the con
crete is chipping caused by motor
ists hitting the disks.
