JoIHE FOR THE BTnLBoARDs,

The growth of feeling against bnIbOards continues, Among recent demo oastra lions has been the action taken by the Chamber of Commerce of Tallahassee, Fla They have passed -esolu tions in which 1t Is first stated that Good roads, good seen cry along the roads, and neat towns and cities impress tourists in 8 way that may lead them to elect to locate in such well kept communities.
 Hence they urge that city and county officials and property owners do not permit on highway land or private property adjoining such highways, the erection and display of advertising devices. Also they are against placing advertising boards on tops of buildings or in the resi- dence districts of the city.
 It should be noted that this action was not taken by sentin nentansts, but by an organization Of business men who are working to build up their home city and makt it look like 8 live place in touch with modern progress
 The city of Cincinnati has joined the anti-biIIboard campaign by enacting an ordinance that forbtds biIIboards 5n residence districts unless owners of the majority of the street frontage give thedr consent
 Owners of land along the motor roads and railroads ought to feel that they are opposing public sentiment and acting against their own inter ests, when they allow private inter ests to buy up billboard rights. Peo- pie go ou in the country to see the pretty scenery, and if that scenery Is disfigured by staring boards, they vii go somewhere else A man who lets ,-=1 erty and makes it look less attractive and sa Iaf3Ie
