Stay out OF the garden, Maud;
There really Is no room
For you to walk abroad
Amid the fragrant bloom.
Stay out Of the garden, do;
Enjoy it at your ease,
The buds, the sparkling dew
But don't SO in it, please.
Stay out Of the garden, dear;
Your feet are small, we know,
But much too large, we fear
We want our plants to grow.
Stay out OF the garden. kid!
Well let you smell the flowers,
But walking we forbid
In this sweet shrine Of ours.
Stay out, and, again. stay out;
You'd trample IT like an OK.
Now, Maudie, old girl. don't pout;
Our gardens a window box.

BILL BOARDS MAY
 BE A PEST BUT THEY HAVE RIGHTS
City Attorney Pullman So Opines Tn An Illumi-
 hating Opinion TELLS COUNCIL 10 GO SLOW

Property owners can stick any sort of billboard or unsigf1tly advertising bulletin on their land and the city has no means of preventing itsi This at least is the opinion of City Attor- ney Pullman who was directed by resolution passed in the Common council, June 8, to prepare an ordin- ance relative to the erection and To- cation of bil1boards in the city.
 The city attorney today sent an opinion to the city clerk in which he cites the failure of other states and cities to regulate or prohibit the un- regulating billboards arose recently when large board made it's appear ance on Seaview avenue. Residents objected; the matter was taken ur with Alderman King and the resolu- tion followed.
 Here is City Attorney Pullman s opinion in part:
 "A large number of states and cit ies have iendeayored by statute oz ordinance to restrict, regulate or pro- hibit. bill boards. In practically every case where such laws have been pass re ed and tested, the courts have held that the laws were uncOnstitutional in that the restrictions anouted to a taking of private property for public use without compensation.
 "The mere fact, that bil1boards are unsightly and an eyesore does not constitute them such a public nuisance that they can be removed as such without compensation Tn one in- stance an ordinance prohibiting wooden bil1boards within tn fire limits of the city was upheld on the ground that il was a reasonable regulation, In con- formity with the city's charter, to pre- vent conflag grafton.
 ssIn. another case an ordinance oi the city of Rochester was held valid, which restricted the heighth and mode of construction of bil1boards just on the inside of the sidewalk line. This decision, however, has not generally been followed, and has been repudiat- ed by number of decisions in other cities
 "The courts with unanirnfty have held that the mere unsightlfness of billboards does not constitutes a nuisance nor the fact that children may climb on them and become i1l- ports rest they may fall on a passerby nor the fact that they afford a hid if1g place for persons bent on mischief
 Tn my Judgment, ith our chartoI as np ordi nance can be passed even if the charter were amended, the only ordinance that could be upheld would be one relative to wooden bill- boards within the fire limits. As a practical matter I understand that all new billboards being erected. or al least the greater part of them,, are be- ing constructed in metal sH
 "I would advise therefore, that no attempt be made to pass an odrinance relative to billboards, unless the city is willing to make compensation to the property owners whose use of his property is thus restricted, and of course this could not be done until the charter had been amended to en- able such procedure to be followed.

 The storm was accom- panied by hail and high wind. and tobacco in Sa- tan's Kingdom was cut and several acres practically destroyed.
 Trees and telephone poles were blown to the ground and traffic on the New Hartford section of the Northampton division was delayed for five hours or more by trees which were blown across the tracks.
