This page intentionally left blank 2011-2012 Yuba County Grand Jury Final Report Page 54 of 96 Oh Say Can You See…? “Oh, Say Can You See…?” (The Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Keyes) THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE’S DISPLAY OF THE U.S. FLAG SUMMARY Many people visit D Street, the City of Marysville’s “main” street. Like many small towns in America, it has that Main Street U.S.A. look and appeal. The City of Marysville has made every effort to make the business district inviting for visitors and shoppers. To enhance this Main Street look, the City installed decorative arches over the intersections along D Street between 3rd and 6th Streets. Atop each of the arches, the City flies the flag of the United States. While the flags are visible in the noon-day sun, the same cannot be said when the sun goes down. The flags are not illuminated at night, although the lighting system appears to be in place. This is contrary to Title 4, United States Code.
