the removal of many stands by appeal
ing to the advertisers direct Lynch
burg, va, has placed most effective
ban on the billboard. The American
people believe in advertising, they
read advertising, they patronize adj
vertisers. but they are discrim-
mating; they don't want the kind
of advertising that mars scenery that
shuts out light, that depreciates adj
Joining property, that offers a rem
devious for neighborhood juvenile
gatherings of dangerous tendencies.
If the billboard must exist the day
is not far distant when it will be a
subject of municipal, State and Fed
eral regulation. 1t will be regarded
as a revenue-producing structure, as
sessed and taxed accordingly; it will
not be permitted to exist as a menace
to health. 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 re-
garded. No amount of seductive offers
of the bill board owners, such as free
space for laudable work like the eX-
ploitation of preventive measures
against tuberculosis, as recently made
to the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
will stem the tide of popular disap-

The billboard as a means of adver-

nightmare-if public sentiment against
1t continues to increase in volume and
effectiveness as it has during the past
few months. Never since the Ameri-
can Civic Association opened its cam
paign for the abatement of the bill
board nuisance has there been such an
awakening to the fact that the bill
board is an eyesore, a nuisance, and
disgrace, and should be abolished
altogether as the Washington Her
aid aptly puts it.
From the est to the west organized
effort to eliminate or regulate, the
billboard, has been taking definite and
effective form. Carefully prepared or
dinances have been passed and others
are being drawn for passage. Gin
