Crusade Against Street Car Signs.
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
We have made some gratifying proeress
in this country during the past year or two
advertising nuisance; at least a number of
our cities have adopted regulations tend
ing to correct such abuses. But no remedy
for one of the greatest denominations of this
kind has yet been considered or proposed.
We refer to the Disagreement of street cars
and elevated-road coaches with advertising
signs. This is not only an imposition upon
the travelling public. but clear violation
of the franchise which gives these roads
the right to carry passengers but not to
derive revenue from the advertising of
groceries, dry goods or anything else They
do these things better in England. One of
the largest tramway systems, as they are
called, in the London district, that of the
London United Tramway Company, has for
years voluntarily followed the policy of al
lowing no advertisements whatever in its
cars. One of the officials of this company
has been quoted recently as saying that the
introduction of advertisements and the
amount derived from such a source, would
not compensate for the loss of light and
ventilation 1t was further pointed out that
cars with advertisements fitted up in the
interior are more difficult to keep clean
than those in which none Is DISPLAYED
while the task of rectifying' ANYTHING that
happens to go wrong with the cars is also
greatly complicated by the necessity that
often arises of removing advertisement
boards and tablets. The pleasure and COM
fort people derive from travelling in clear
well-ventilated cars were also empha sized
as an important reason for the regulation
All these reasons for shutting out adyer-
tisements from street cars apply here.
