do the general public a real and last
ing service by extending the movement
to the billboards and advertising signs
which now disfigure their property and
render the approaches to many of our
cities and towns a sight hideous to ey-

recently passed along the word to Its
division bosses that its own rule against
these billboard nuisances must be hence

much relief the travellers over this par

The most notable fact in such a
