Signs Destroyed.

A large number of advertising signs
were torn from trees, fences and telegraph
poles on Burlington county roads, along
the Delaware river, during the past
week by crew travelling in an automo-
bile and claiming to represent the
National Good Roads Association, with
headquarters in New York city. The
men said the reason for the destruction
Of the signs was that they confused auto
mobilists. They added that the National
Good Roads Association had authorized
the work, and said the advertisers had
no rights on the highways, were tres
passers and that the association had as
much right to tear down the signs as the
advertisers had to put them up. The
wreckers were armed with crowbars and
axes, and made quick work of running
some of the most expensive signboards
along the roads.
Business houses whose signs were
wrecked have as yet made no move
against the perpetrators or the association
alleged to be backing the campaign.
The business men, while angry over their
loss, are not certain of their status and
are seeking legal advice before beginning
prosecution.
