A lively discussion started over the sub
way signs at the meeting OF the Chamber Of
Commerce yesterday. which resulted In the
Chambers giving its approval of all the Rapid
Transit Commission had done regarding the
signs 1t resulted also in a lively passage at
arms between Calvin Tomkins pre- sident of the
Municipal Art Society. and President Jesup OF
the Chamber OF Commerce. also a member OF
the Rapid Transit Commission. after President
Orr of the Commission. also a member Of the
Chamber. had given his version of the sign con-
troversv It was Mr. Tomkins against the
Chamber. and the Chamber won A resolution
he offered was tabled, and the echoes OF the
hattie died away Just as Prince Fushimi came
TO visit the Chamber
: Edward Simmons reported Tor the executive
committee which has been considering the sign
question Stree the last meeting that II Wouio
not he iustifable for the Chamber TO interfere
in any v-av. Then came many calls for MT
Orr TO tell Just what the Rapid Transit Com
mission had done regarding the signs. and why
it had done so.
Mr. Orr told the Chamber that because OF the
difficulty in getting bidder for the contract
the commission had finally allowed the advert!s-
ing privilege to the contractor. making him in
sert in the contract the specification that the
advertisements should not interfere with the
Identification Of the stations the efficient OPP

Of getting n bidder. The second contract was
quite differentiated everybody vas Wiling 20

permission for the signs.
Mr. Jesup then began to bring forward other
business but Mr. Tomkins came 10 the front
declaring that he wanted TO get the Chambers
opinion on the sign controversy for which end
he would offer a resolution. Mr.. Jesup insisted
that his speech was irrelevant and out OF order
and Charles Stewart Smith said so, too, with
considera BILE emphasis. adding that it was alb
