Augusta Hearall.

Washington is the first city in our
country which has put the ban upon
billboards. The commissioners of the
District of Columbia have at last acted
on the long continued complaints, and
after careful consideration have de-
creed that this nuisance must be abated
and the billboards removed.
Other cities should follow this lead.
There Is no excuse for t~olerating this
custom which by degrees has grown
into an intelerable nuisance. These
billboards are unsightly. They are
not only offensive to good taste and as
such d~epreciating the value of real es-
tate, but they are q demora!lzlng
agency. The posters displayed on
them are often offensive in the sugges;
tive display that is being made, and
where not open to this objection they
are vitiatipg in their general effect.
For that these highly colored posters
exert a psychological influence upon
the community cannot be denied.
There is no necessity for billboard
advertising. I fthere were no other or
better method for gaining publicity
there might be some excuse for it. In
the dark ages when people were illit-
crate and few could read, to gain their
attention by the display of great colored
pictures might have been justifiable as
! the only way. But that doesn't apply
now when all can read, and everybody
does read at least the local newspaper.
Through the newspaper the public can
be informed of everything it is desired
it shall know, and newspaper adver-
Using is not only cheaper out is not
otherwise Objectionable as the bill
board.
So the billboard is not only an evil,
but it is an unnecessary evil, a NUS
ance, which as such should be abol-
ished.
The Savannah press relates that in
that city there is q vacant lot on a
prominent orner that is kept free
from unsightly pictures and advertis-
ing matter solely because of the fact
that those living in the neighborhood
have outbid the billboard man for 1t.
They have paid to keep the b%illboards
offs that their eyes might not be Of
Tended and their W property values
reduced by their presence.
This shows how the billboards are
regarded. If people in other sections
of that city or in the other cities find it
inexpedient to adopt the same course,
the Law should give them this protec-
ton. Mcpherson has the right to de-
preciate the value of the property of
another or to give him offense in his
home by maintaining a nuisance, and
nobody should be under the necessity
O fbuying deliverance from such a NUS
ance. 1t is a protection which the
law should give. =.
The billboards in every city should
be abolished as has been done in
Washington.
