MassaC husetts is to have case test
ing the cOnstitutionality of the new
law which prohibits the disfiguration
of landscapes by bill boards and Often
where such law was passed in
response to general public revolt
against the bill board nuisance, it was
held to be unconstitutional when the
matter reachor the courts. but in
Massa chusettS the bill was more care
fully drawn, and Governor Bates and
Attorney-Goneral Parker are convinced
that the new law will stand the
test. Commercial interests, represent
ing a total capitalization of many
millions of dollars, have united to fight
the law, and everything that money
can do will be done against it. What
ever the decision in the lower courts,
the case will quickly be appealed to
state. and thence very likely to the
United States supreme court. If the
Massachusetts law is upheld to the
states courts and then by the federal
courts. it will probably be copied in
many states throughout the country,
for the bill board nuisance is a grow
ing one and is annoying to all people
who love nature.
