All OF the minor amendments made
in this report have been suggested by |
the Department OF Buildings and |
should be adopted.
We most heartily approve the entire !
code AZ presented by the previous
committee and particularly the article I.
relating to regulation OF signs, as II
not only makes reasonable regulations
for the various Character OF signs for
which permits are sought. but re-
enacts tho rule laid down by the Com
signs permitted TO be- hung. II also
requires a certain amount OF iiiunin-
alton for. each square foot OF sign
surface, which is only reasonable and
also that they shall he Illuminated
during certain hours. IL the minority
report is adopted. tho entire section
relating to signs may as well be
eliminated from the code as A. ner
mits all signs Except wood siRns5 10
be ~ 50. feet In area. which is of
greater dimensions than has ever hee,,
allowed by this Council eXcept Tor

signs, and Instead Of making reason \
able regulations IL destroys that TEA
ture in It's entirety. We Therefore rec.
ommend that said ordinance. AZ 40
