MAKING WAR ON BILLBOARD
American Civic Association Regards
1t as Objectionable Form
of Advertising.

From it's very institution, the Amer
lean Civic association has devoted it.
self to the protection of the public
against three great nuisances-smoke,
poles and wires, and billboards. At
gthe annual convention of the associa-
ticn in Washington one of the import
ant subjects discussed was billboards,
with principal address, entitled
1.-THE Passing of the Signboard," by
Jesse Lee Bennett of Baltimore in
which he recounted the steps that had
been taken for the legal control of
the billboard in all parts of the United
States.
Concerning the sentiment against
the billboard, Mr.. Bennett said: "The
feeling against the signboard has be
come nationwide and in the past few
years the agitation of civic organiza-
tions has been so successful as to
awaken resentment against it so wide
spread that, from coast to coast and
in almost every state and city, there
are now, or have been, vigorous move
ments seeking the abolition or regula-
ton of these unnecessary and disf1g-
uring objects.
There has been much agitation,
and from it there has been distilled
one thing-the recognition of the fact
that what is called the signboard
problem is a question more complex
than the mere removal of the signs
The signboard has been found to be
inextricably intertwined with two
questions of even greater Importance
The awakening of civic sentiment
and the recognition by legislators
and judges of the validity of argu-
ments based upon esthetic considera-
TONS"
Commenting on what ought to be
the attitude of the law and the courts
toward the billboard, he added:
''It would take our psychologist but
a few minutes to show that it is not
a question of ear, or nose, or eye, but
a question of the brain and of the
very consciousness that is life itself.
No law should permit any man to
intrude or force himself or his bust
ness into another mans consciousness
to the extent that outdoor advertis-
ing has come to permit, an intrusion
UNNECESSARILY increased by the fact
that it is impossible to avoid seeing
signboards."

Combination of Property Owners.


A general maintenance tax of two
mills per square foot, which amounts
to 81 per year ON lot 20 by 100 feet,
besides the regular city tax, must be
paid by lot owners in a section OF
Philadelphia. This special assessment
is for the upkeep of the property, and
is applied towards the cost of gar
bage collection, snow cleaning, light
ing, maintaining the park and sew
erage system, replanting trees and
shrubbery, cleaning vacant lots. and
streets and sidewalks. The
fund is administered by a company
and assures the lot owner that all
repairs in streets and sidewalks will
be promptly made when needed, and
will not be subject to the idiosyn-
crasies of private ownership or the
slow methods Of municipal depart
ments.

Yes, you're right. 1t was the press

calling her the :tMaid of Mystery.
And for once 1.-The press agent was

who she was before she entered the

great is the Maid of Mystery's'
confidence in her ability that she gives
