SUPREME CORR 0. KS RUl {.

Unsightly signn0ards Wii.Ca ht. der

is the ruling # the state highway
commission, recently handed down
and made public
This is a step much i'll The line Of
the recent L. S. Supreme Court deci-
sion, which held the Chicago or!i-
nance invalidating billboards to be
legal.
The state commissions ruling
means that there can be no CONNER
cial signboards OF any sort along
highways which are maintained by
state funds. Ottawa is directly af
fected by this decision, as there are
two sections of state road here. II
any billboards exist along these strips
they must come down.
In connection with this decision, the
Illinois Highways, the official publica-
tion of the state commission, says:
"In the belief that ungainly and
unsightly signs of an advertising ma
ture along public highways mar the
beauty of the road itself and of the
contiguous landscape, the Illinois
Highway Commission has directed
that all such advertising signs be re
moved from along all State aid roads
THE order came in letter direct
ed from Chief State Highway En-
gineer w. w. MARI for the commits
sion to all advertisers. Other com
munications sought the cooperation o
county highway superintendent anC
through them, OF townships official
as well, to the end that he antisig
campaign may be carried to a ben'
fetal conclusion
"The State Highway Commissio
desires, first of all of course, to cor
serve the interests Of the State al
: roads. The placing OF signs has be
come such a universal practice tina
lit has come to amount to nothin
less than a nuisance, in the opinion
Of the commission. Moreover, tn
commission believes such staring OF
jects as the majority of sign boards O
today do not really advertise, that
in many instances, they repel instea
of attract the favor nj trgVplnrc
