council, that great something that many
people expect to usher in the millennium, to
send around sweepers? Are you personally
doing anything to make the city bigger and
better and brighter, you sitting
around waiting for some one to call upon
you to join a procession?
Little neighhorhood clubs are a good
thing. Organize one on your square and let
it have for its purpose the identifying Of

city beautiful, as it should be, some men
seem to take a fiendish delight in making
it as ugly and repulsive as possible. Euro
signs. and we'll they may. Legislation
must come, and let us hope it will be
SOON.
Patrick F. MCGOWAN. president OF the
board Of aldermen, after saying the board
has no power to act in the matter, added
Il am in favor of legislation which will
regulate these signs that litter the city. 1t
is absurd that there should not be proper
restrictions. There is ordinance limit
ing their height, but that is not sufficient.
II am in favor of legislation which will
regulate not only the size of the signs. but
will make it essential for the city to pass
upon every sign before it is put up. Those
which are inartistic, immoral or generally
dispeasing to the eye could be rejected.
That is the kind of legislation we should
have on the subject, but the board Of al
the matter. Albany must provide legsla-
ton to regulate the signs.
James c. Meyers, republican leader of
the board of aldermen, likewise pointed
out the need for legislation and expressed
regret that the aldermen are not vested
with the authority to act
Fire Commissioner Lantry and Chief
Croker are among the strongest advocates
Of legislation to abolish the signs.
'They a great bother to u.s." said
Commissioner Lantry, land are becoming
more so. Some of them are enormous
metal affairs which block the f1remen' 8
way very often and delay them in getting
quickly to the source OF blaze
Chief Croker said II have always been
opposed to sky signs. not because they are
disgrace from an artistic viewpoint. but
because they are a great handicap to the
firemen. They give US much bother many
times and keep US back when seconds are
worth fortunes. We meet them all over.
This habit of plastering the entire fronts
of buildings with them is still greater
evil for us. We have to cut our way
through them frequently. and in the case
of electric signs there Is no little danger.
Why New York permits them to be put
up is a mystery to me, and l hope the
time will soon come when all will be taken
down.
