Report Of Special Committee
on Police Regulations.
a NEW RULE SUBMITTED
-he Restriction Regarding Signs (which
Frighten Eorsss" Considered Indefinite
and Rot Sufficient to Meet the De-
mands Of the Situation.

Messrs Francis Nye and Daniel Curry,
a committee appointed to revise the po-

Heve the regulation relative to freak

Solicitor, is bread enough in its terms.
The only restriction the Solicitors draft
placed on the evi1 Of freak and other OBJ
jectionabIe street advertising was pro-
hibltion against the appearance on the
streets Of amy sign, advertising device,
or other object calculated to frighten
horses"
As the revision committee understands
It. the intention Of the Commissioners is
to go further tban merely to exclude. from
the streets .suea objects as would frighten
horses. It is weIi-kn5wp fact that the
sidewalks are often used by persons wear
ing the heads q animals and various other
equally Objectionable disfgurements. cal
culated to shock the senses. The com
mittee thinks that the phrase calculated
TO frighten horses IS open TO serious
objection, because OF the fact that unless
horses are actually frightened, great diff
ficulty will be experienced in proving that
the object was eaIcusted TO frighten
horses. and. testimony on he subject
would be largely q matter o. opinion.
The committee believes fn-ther that
any regulation that may he promulgated
on this subject. shouI1 exclude from the
street, all purely Advertising devices. The
authority q the Commissioners &c do this
lies in the fact that the persons against
whom the regulation is directed are using

purposes and no one has 2 valid claim TO
such use of the streefs- The following
