Westerly Is interested in the new
law in regard to bill board advertise
ing, the question having been raised
and discussed at the regular meeting
of the town council and resulted in
the removal of movie picture bill
boards from the Pawcatuck bridge. It
was inferred at that meeting that such
line of advertising could not pre-
vail in private property, even with the
consent of the owner. but that the
property owner could advertise his
own business but not the business
OF others. This inference was not
correct, as is shown by the law which
will be in effect September /. The law
relating to advertising on the public
highways, on on the property of an
other. provides first for the preserva-
ton of milestones. signboards. danger
sign. or other signs placed lawfully
within the highway land then con-
tinues:
