Future of the Billboard

The American people believe in ad. vertising, they read advertising, they patrOnise advertisers, but they are dis. eliminating; they don't want the kind of advertising that mars scenery, that shuts out light, that depreciates adjoin- ing property, that offers rendezvous for neighborhood juvenile gatherings of dangerous tendencies says the Commer- cial Record. If the billboard must exist, the day is not far distant when it will be a subject of municipal and state reg ulation. It will be regarded as revenue producing structure, assessed and taxed accordingly. The property rights of the man who does not believe in billboards and refuses to grant space on his own lands for their erection, will be regarded. No amount of seductive offers of the billboard owners, such as free space for laadable work like the exploitation of preventive measures against tuberculosis as recently made to the National Asse- citation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, will stem the tide of popu- lar disapproval of the billboard The opposition is strong and it is growing constantly.

New York, Dec. 18.-Patiently the
old Price homestead at No. II Simon
son place, Port Richmond, Staten
Island, has been waiting more than
half a century to have its rafters
echo back music and laughter, follow
ing the low-toned benediction Of a
parson and the sound Of a bride re-
ceiving the first kiss of a husband.
All these symbols Of a merry ed
ming were present yesterday when
Miss Susan Price, seventy, raised her
head and, blushing like a September
rose, permitted B. G. Totten, seventy
three, to seal the compact with a
kiss. staten Island society was there
to set the eeremony-and the kiss.
Miss Susan, who lived with her
maiden sister for many years, always
had said laughingly that she'd marry
just IS soon as she found her ideal.
|Suitors in plenty marched up the
pathway bordered with lockwood, but
all of EN- marched down again until
Mr.. Totten, a justice of the peace Of
Pike county, Pa, came Wooing. He
is a retired real estate dealer, whose
first wife died g year ago. An
nouncement Of his engagement to
Miss Susan was withheld for a time,
but her neighbors read the signs in
her frequent signing, and, more than
that, in the hum of the sewing ma.
chine.
Following the reception there was
dancing, at which the brides grace
attracted more partners han sought
calloW maidens Of fifty and sixty
And after all that, the couple started
for a honeymoon in Florida and
Cuba.
