ternoon. the question of better or
dinance governing electrical signs was

sicerably behind other progressive
cities In regard to lighted signs.

ground floor Of a building SO that the
current may be turned off at will,
the danger would .e minimized, he
thought.

the session. He win assist In draft
ing new ordinance. Members OF
the committee present were Messrs.
Hirschberg and Butler.

Inspector Beck at this meeting. a sub
committee appointed to consider the
ordinance regulating the operations Of

of the city WAS uRabic TO hold "A l,f-e,-
