BILLBOARD POSTERS :
AS PUBLIC NUISANCE
-- ------------ - :
Better Control Urged at Meet
ing of Municipal Art
Society.

NEW YORK, October 1O-The Municipal
Art Society of New York held its annual
meeting Wednesday night. and William
Laurel Harris presiding. and reviewing
the societys work for the year.
Mr.. Harris said among the matters the
society would specially interest itself in
during the coming year would be that of
regulation of outdoor advertising. The
principal feature of the meeting was an
address on Artistic Advertising in
Europe" by DR.. James p. Haney, d.
rector of art in the New York city high
schools. DR.. Haney said in part:
1.-THE designing and use of posters is
q subject far better understood abroad
than with us. We have not yet learned
to make the better forms of artistic adj
vertising. and what we have made we
employ in fashion which may be
termed an abuse rather than a use. The
growth of our great publicity agencies
has made familiar to us the words the
billboard nuisance.
Gaynor Commissions Report.
''One Of the last acts of the late
Mayor Gaynor was to receive, from the
hands of a committee appointed by him
in 1912, a report on the billboard and its
regulation. The trenchant report Of this
mayors billboard commission tells sue
cinctly where the trouble lies in our in
ability to regulate the disposition to
plaster every blank wall and to build
structures for glaring signs on every
available rooftop.
1--WE have in this country no minister
Of finance to say, as M. Klotz, in France,
that beauty is part of the natural patri-
mony,' and that 1t is intolerable that
publicity agents should prevent the pub
lie from enjoying the beauty of scenery.
Hence our finest street, our most costly
viaducts and elaborate parkways are
lined with billboards without let or him
drance.
Protection for Eyes.
"A few citizens and few public-sprr-
tied societies have tried to obtain regula-
ton Of these matters by statute, but SO
long as judges hold that a mans right
to annoy his neighbors with hugo gins
cannot be taken from him without COM
pensation,' so long the nuisance will per-
sist. Our cities can tax citizens that
beauty may be created in streets and
parks. but cannot without constitut .onal
amendment prevent the destruction OF
this beauty by what we like to cal
private enterprise.' What We need,
says Mayor sSaynor's commission is TO
have beauty written into the constitu-
ton, so that judges may heed it and an
derstand that the public has as much
right to have its eyes protected from
the sight of ugly signboards as Its ears
from unbearstble din or its nose from
foul odors"

AS PANACEA FOR PUBLIC ILLS.
Speaker Advocates the Initiative,
Referendum and Recall.

The initiative, referendum and recall
were discussed by Judson King. execu-
tive secretary Of the National Popular
Government League. before the Study
Club In Economics at ingram Memorial
Church last night With the adoption
of this system of government the
United States will emerge into
cleaner political future. the speaker
said.
Let us use little common sense In
discussing this question OF the initia-
tive, referendum and recall" Mr.. King
began. eff the experience OF the
states and cities where they are now
in force teaches US anything. 1t proves
that direct legislation neither will re-
duee our country to anarchy and ruin,
as predicted by former Representative
Mccall. nor will IT speedily establish
an economic and political millennium
as hoped for by enthusiasts.
The American people are neither
anarchists nor angels--they. are just
folks" he continued. AS folks they
will do the best they know, which is
more than can be said of majority
of the politicians. And to get what the
folks want done, is. as understand
1t. the object for which this republic
was established"

than 100000 additional revenue to the
local government last year. The exact

AEROP[ANE FACTORIES
OF EUROPE INSPECTED
DR.. Zahm and Lieut.. HunSacker
Have lust Returned
to Capital.

DR.. Albert F. Zahm, on behalf of the
Smithsonian Institution. and Lieut. Hun
sacker of the Navy Department have
just returned from Europe. where they
made a tour of inspection among the
aeroplane factories and aero-dynamic
laboratories. They left Washington July
23 and toured England, France and Ger
many. ~
In England rhe national physical labora-
tory. maintained largely through the aid
Of the British government, was visited.
Its activities, in so far as they were in
terested. were in connection with mill
tary aeroplanes. In France the labora-
tory at ST Cyr, a branch of the Univer-
sity of Paris, and that of M. Gustave
Eiffel, at the Eiffel tower, were visited,
while outside Berlin they saw the flying
fed of Johannesthal, with its surround
ing motor factories, dirigible balloon fac
torres, and the remarkable European
laboratory Of Prandtl.
The investigators say the aeroplane
industry in Europe appears eptlreiy de-
pendent on tine patronage OF the gov
eminent Tor military purposes. Inefe Is
no commercial development in the
aeroplane line. At the same time the
numoer OF aeroplanes used by the
various governments is remarkable.
and ,aeronau-IeS has been christened
1.-The fourth arm of the service" in all
of the European armies and navieS.
Turns Out Many Aeros.
Most Of the machines carry the re-
markable revolving Gnome motor. and
this probably is the largest motor fac
tory in Europe. 1t employs about $50
men and turns out eight complete

French aviator, is running a biplane
factory with a force of over 700 men,
and is turning out from seven to eight
machines a day.
All of the laboratories are equipped
with wind tunnels where models of aero
plane wings are tested in a current of
air, and some of the Laboratories have
long stretches of outdoor track where
motors and propellers are tested on
moving railway trucks. One of these
total length of 1900 feet.
Germany Leads In Balloons.
Germany has gone further in the de-.
velopment of dirigible balloons than any
other country and these dreadnoughts of
the air are erysexpensive. The hangar
or shed where one is housed costs up
ward of s125,0O0. Some of the sheds are
built on turntables so that they can be
revolved to face the prevailing winds.
This makes II easier for TIE great di-
rigibles to be landed and housed safely.
Plans have been drawn for some Ger
man haiigars that are to split open along
the line of the ridgepole and s.nk into
the ground on concealed elevators. al
lowing the balloon to alight where it is to
remain and have the house close over
it like pair Of gigantic clam shells.
Some On TIE hangers that are not
placed en- turntables have long stretches
of railroad track In front of them and
when the balloons land they are fastened
to railroad trucks and run into the
houses where they are under cover.
1t is desired by the United States War
Department to buy two OF these mon
ster balloons at a cost of about $175. 600
each, but it has not yet been ascertained
whether Congress- will appropriate the
necessary money.

EXCESSIVE freight !.
RA1ESARE DENIED
Railroads Answer De MoIl
Complaint OF Discrimination
Against Washington.

Admitting that Washington "is a gate
way, no doubt, for passengers between
the north and SOUTH" the reply of the
Washington and Old Dominion railway
to the complaint OF o. J. De Mol and
Others has been filed with the inter-
state commerce commission. The De Moll
complaint was a general attack on all
freight rates to and from Washington
from the north and south.
The road denies that Washington is on
it's main line, but, on the contrary. de-
clares that II hauls no freight traffic over
its own line into the city of Washington.
1t denies, further. that any rates for
