This is the method that was EN-

There Is not an honest class OF

THE MATTER OF SIGNS.

Editor Advertiser: We beg leave to
reply to Anti-knocker 50 remarks in
this days Advertiser on the matter
of signs. He says it is understood
that the information and complaint
had come from a merchant because
there was some objection to the size,
looks and location of his own sign.
As we were the people whose sign
was first objected to your correspond
emit evidently referred to US. Now we
do not know who "Anti-knocker is
but possibly he is the same person who
lodged complaint regarding our Walk
Over sign. At any rate, whoever he
is, we would respectfully have him
understand we are no knockers, and
we neither have time nor inclination
to concern ourselves about other peo-
pies affairs.
When we received notice from the
Attorney General s department that
our Walk-Over sign on Alakea street
was objected to we Immediately took
it down, and when we noticed three
weeks later a similar sign was still
on Fort street, we handed the letter
from the Attorney Generals depart
ment to the Bulletin, stating we knew
of no reason why we should be special
" singled out. Our complaint ended
there.
We, too, believe it would be a
hardship on the business people of
Honolulu if they were compelled to
pull down signs (some of which are
quite costly particularly so when they
were in total ignorance of breaking
any law The regulation requiring
signs not to be more than three feet
in length is we believe an ordinance
peculiar to Honolulu only. All that is
required in most places is that signs
be not less than seven feet from the
ground and securely fastened.
The United States is renowned for
its beautifully illuminated, streets on
account of the many large electric
signs. Take San Francisco for in
stance, when the merchants gorgeous
electric signs on all new buildings fol
lowing the fire made many people for
get their troubles. Some of the signs

are fully ten feet long. 1t would be
very graceful on the part of the Attor-
ney General if he would not insist on
the obeying of an obsolete law, par
tieularly while So very few people
knew Of its eistenee, and give the mer-
chants of this city an opportunity to !
prevail upon the Legislature to amend |
the law so as to allow Honolulu to be |
up to date in signs as she is in most |
other things. There should be no OBJ |
lection to the size or manner of hang
ing sign so long as it is securely fas |
tened and no obstruction.
In conclusion, we would ask your !
correspondent to forget the word |
'knoeker" and kindly understand we
are always ready and willing to help |
the welfare of Honolulu by encOurag- |
ing modern ideas. Yours truly,
