are indignant at the incursions of quacks and
others, paint-pot in hand, who are daubing ur
fences, stores and railroad stations with adver-

yers remarked to us yesterday that such work
is clearly unlawful and may be abated, if not
otherwise, under the nuisance act. 1t is hoped

enjoy that "instant relief" which an obligation
