BARBER POLES TO REMAIN
BY a unanimous vote the board de-
cided that Illuminated barber poles set
up near the sidewalks do not constitute
a violation of the building laws, and
the building inspector was instructed
to issue permits for the erection OF
such poles when all requirements are
complied with by the applicant. The
matter of removing the poles was
brought to the boards attention by
Chairman Blocker, who said that their
erection is a violation OF the building
laws, basing such an opinion on the
advice Of the city attorney. On the
night of the coronation of the car
nival queen an illuminated barber pole
on South Palafox street was knocked
down by a carriage, and this led to
al investigation by Chairman Blocker
to ascertain If the signs were erected
in violence Of the law.
The motion declaring that the plac-
ing of the poles is not q violation Of
the law was made by Mr.. Schad.
