COMMISSION DECIDES
BILLBOARD A NUISANCE
New York's Long Study of
Problem Results in Adverse
Opinion as to Its Use.

NEW YORK, October 2-After an eight
month study Of the billboard problem in
New York, a special commission appoint
ed by the late Mayor Gaynor has arrived
at it's conclusions embodied In a book OF
over $50 pages. The findings of the COM
mission are that the billboard constitutes
a nuisance because of its unsightliness
that it causes a further fire hazard in
many places and also a menace to public
health on account Of the rubbish It often
hides.
Restriction Of the use Of the billboard
is recommended. including proposals to
tax such advertisements. to establish a
censorship upon designs. to authorize
health officials to prohibit large electric
signs where they are found to interfere
with sleep in residential districts and
both health and fire officials to order re-
moval OF all signs which are q menace
to health and safety

AFFRONT OFFERED
TO BRITISH GOLFERS
McDermott Insults vard0n,
Ray and Reid-CIub Officials
Decry His Talk. i

SHAW-NEE-ON -DELAWARE. August
o7-Although efforts have been made TO
keep the affair quiet. II is common gos-
sip here that John J. McDermott was
guilty of a grave breach OF etiquette
here last Saturday at the conclusion OF
the open golf tournament. The young
homebred professional of Atlantic city,
who won the tourney. made voluntary
and uncalled-for speech after his medal
and prize money had been passed over
He mounted chair and in effect told
Harry Vardon, Edward Ray and Wilfrld
Reid, the visiting English golfers. that
they might as well go back home. as
their quest of American open golf cham
pionship honors would get them nowhere
in particular.
One of the Scotch professionals, who
makes his home in America. raised his
voice in remonstrance. and McDermott
turned on him, it is said. with siurring
remark.
Later McDermott offered an apology
10 RAY. who declined to accept 1t unless
made publicly. The English visitors pre-
tended to make light of the AFFAIR when
club officials told them that McDermotts
utterances were individual and without
warrant
