Continental Europe is approaching
in a most practical manner the problem
of the Disagreement of the landscape
by advertising signs In one or two
countries a tax is now imposed upon
such signs. and the rate is rapidly in
creased. according to the size of the
sign. The whole thing is nuisance
and it is not enough to tax such signs.
Those which disfigure the landscape
should be prohibited altogether The
time is not far distant when something
will be done about the matter in this
country The evil is reaching large
prOnOrtiOnS.
