When any sign becomes <br /> insecure w and in danger of falling, or otherwise unsafe, and here we <br /> insert, or poorly m intaned as evidenced by illegibility such as <br /> defacement or missing sections, we added that to cover sums which are <br /> really rough and can' t be read. Everything else is the same as you <br /> read it. <br /> ( continued on page 8) <br />
