There were busy important solicitors in

were lawyers clerks with keen, shIfty

ringlets and reticules. who seemed as

BY an item in Friday mornings
Journal l infer that the projecting bal

removed in connection with the remov-
ing of all overhead signs.
/ can hardly credit this, as the bal
comics, especially those supported by
posts from the sidewalk, are a much
greater menace and disfguration than
any overhanging sign. They are very
much of an obstruction to the view
up and down the street and just why
a smaller sign should be ordered re-
moved, and these balconies allowed to
