BUTLER AFRAID OF
ELECTRIC SIGN LAW
Sees No Good in Adding Wonder
lehr Ordinance to Statutes
Now in Effect.

The Vonderlehr ordinance, designed
to libcralize the electric sign regula-
tons. appears to have fallen on hard
lines. Building Inspector Butler sees
no need for adding it to the present
statutes on the subject. the Admins
trative Board has declined to give II
its Endorsement, and the City Electrical
Department. 1t is reported, Is likewise
opposed to it.
II have examined the ordinance In
detail said Building Inspector Butler.
yesterday, and l cannot SEQ how 1t
would benefit either the merchants or
the city. AS far as I have been able
TO determine. the amended law Is not
an Improvement over the present
statute Under the present law the
Building Inspectors office has to APP
prove every application for sign
permit. and the same restriction is
provided by the new law. This office
would be governed In acting upon APP
piications under the new law BY tho
Same considerations that cause II to
approve or withhold an application at
present.
AT conference between tho Ad-
ministrattvc Board and merchants fav-
oring the amended Law. the board In
dicated clearly that 1t preferred the
present electric sign ordinance to re-
main unamended. The amended law
contains a blanket clause permitting
the construction OF signs measuring in
their dimensions up to ten by five feet
Under present regulations a permit for
a sign OF that size could be issued only
by act OF the Council
The ordinance was introduced in the
Common Council at It's meeting on

is sure death to them and Mr.. Mallon
decided that someone desired to
poison his animal. He laid his find

land and federal officials were al
once notified and have also started
an investigation which they expect
