BILLBOARD CASE
POSTPONED FOR
ONE MORE WEEK
Supervisors Will Familiar
ize Themselves With Re
ports and Ordinances
in Meantime
NO ARRESTS TO BE
MADE FOR PRESENT
Payot Accuses the Sign Men
of Bad Faith and With
Pooling Officials

Action on the applications of the
Charles Green company and Schroeder
& Herzog for special permits to main
tain six miles of 20 foot billboards
was postponed for week by the su-
pervisors yesterday TO allow certain
members to familiarize themselves with
the majority and minority reports OF
the public welfare committee.
The majority report, signed by Su-
pervisors Payot, Giannini. Hayden and
Murdock. recommended the abolition
of practically all of the double deck
signs. allowing but % to stand out OF
220 requested.
The minority report. presented by
Supervisor A J. Gallagher. would al
low the greater number of boards to
remain. condemning principally diago-
nal signs.
AS both reports contain a detailed
list of all the signs in question, giving
size and location, the majority of the
supervisors felt that they should be
given at least a week in which TO in
vestigate.
ARRESTS WILL BE DEFERRED
Copies of the report and the ordi-
nance limiting the height, which went
each.
As clause in the ordinance allows
permitss to be granted for 20 foot
boards in special cases. the supervisors
formally requested that the police
make no arrests until the pending ap-
plications are voted upon.
Postponement was not agreed upon
without considerable and heated argu-
ment. Supervisor Murdoch declared de-
p do
cided months ago that billboards
should be but 10 feet high.
Under the guise of seeking special
permits the billboard men come in with
applications for six miles of 90 foot
boards" he protested, including all
that are now up and about an equal
number to be erected. Either enforce
the ordinance or repeal it."
GALLAGHER ASKS CONTINUANCE
Supervisor Caglieri moved that the
majority report be adopted and Super
visor Payot seconded the motion
Supervisor A. ]. Gallagher objected. In
sisting that the members could not
possibly be familiar with the lengthy
reports and asking for a weeks con-
tinuance. He declared the question al
Issue had nothing to do with the boards
defacing the city, but only, In the
terms of the ordinance, as to whether
they were dangerous to public health
and safety.
Supervisor Payot accused ]. Charles
Green and others of bad faith In not
tearing down the 20 foot signs and in
repainting boards while the matter is
pending.
The billboard men have given nc
heed 10 the ordinance he said Their
blanket application for 30,973 lineal
feet of 20 foot signs would make the
law ridiculous. IL granted. They arc
fooling everybody-the supervisors, the
mayor, the public welfare committee
every one but themselves. 1t is time
the ordinance should be enforced"
