HEARING ON OvERHANCINC SIGNS
Several Appeared Before Mayor Allyn Brown and Street
Commissioner George E. Fellows-Sentiment of Meet
ing in Favor of Allowing Illuminated Signs.

Realizing the fact that some of the
overhead signs, although contrary to
the ordinance, but represent to the
owners a substantial sum and which
are safe and understandable and are
a benefit to the public. Mayor Allyn
Brown held q. hearing in the council
chamber on Tuesday evening at Sis
o'clock for the purpose of trying TO
find a solution as to whether those
signs should be left and the others
done away with.
Mayor Brown explained the situation
and spoke as follows:
Gentlemen: Soon after took offic4
last June my attention was called to
the fact that there were many over
hanging signs being maintained in
the city streets contrary to the exist
ing ordinances. I took considerable
pains to examine these signs on the
different streets and came to the con-
clusion that by far the greater num-
Der of them were not only being main
tanned contrary to the ordinances but
were actually either dangerous to the
travelling public or Objectionable for
some other reason. So far as / could
learn, no proper permit had been given
for the erection of the few signs which
were perhaps unobjectionable. Even If
If there had been such permit in the
past, take it that under the ordinance
1t would be for the present street COM
missioner to say whether they might
be continued.
In an effort to get rid Of the objec-
donable signs. 1t seemed to me after
Norwich bulletin., 1916-12-13

some thought that perhaps the fairest
way was to order all of the overhang-
ing signs now maintained in violation
of the ordinance to be removed, and
I am convinced that this course would
be legally correct. However. as you
must realize. it is furthest from my
purpose to do anything merely to ex-
ercise an arbitrary power, for all that
I wish to do is to enforce the law in
the way which will be for the best
interest Of the city.
Therefore, If there is any way by
which fairly and legally those signs
which are safe and understandable
can be left, and the others done away
with, I viii be glad to follow that
course. 1t is to get any Information
which you can give me to help to this
end that I have invited you to meet
with me at this time. If there is any
thing which the city government can
do properly to encourage and assist.
instead of hinder, the business inter-
ests of the city, it will be done.
will therefore be very glad indeed
to have the benefit of any information
or suggestions which you care to give
me at this time and in the light there
of reach the fairest possible conclu-
sion under the provision of the law.
There were five who appeared at the
hearing and stated their views upon
the matter and it was the general SEN
timent of the meeting that the illu-
minated signs are safe and as they
represent a substantial investment
they ought to remain.
