State highway signs to be removed on rights of way
David Rippey of Warsaw, division superintendent of the Indiana state highway commission, orders removal of all signs along the public right of way not of value. Signs of value may stay until August 12, after which the commission will remove them but keep them roadside for a week for owners to recover property. Engineers aim to increase sight distances on curves to 300 or 400 feet and ensure intersections are clear for 100 feet. Farmers along the state roads offer cooperation by trimming hedges and live fences and may switch crops near curves and intersections to potatoes beans tomatoes instead of corn.
