MAY PUT BAN ON
HIGHWAY SIGNS
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MAY
FOLLOW ACTION TAKEN
ELSEWHERE.
TWO COUNTIES COMPEL
REMOVAL OF ALL SIGNS
Franklin and Cerro Gordo Boards
Demand Abolition of Advertisina
Displays-Action Upheld by Opin-
ion From Attorney Generals Office
Approved by Commission.

Advertising signs along the public
highways must go. The boards OF
supervisors of Franklin and Cerro
Gordo counties have ordered that
such displays must be removed and
the attorney general of Iowa is back
ing them. The movement is said to
have met with approval elsewhere
;; and that supervisors OF other coun-
ties are contemplating similar action.
1t is argued that tht safety of travel
ers demands the removal OF the high
way signs many dangerous corners
! and turns being obstructed by bill
boards and painted advertising
broadsides.
The Marshal county board has had
Its attention called to the action in
Franklin and Cerro Gordo counties
and requested to do likewise The
board has the question under con-
sideration.
Franklin county was one jump
ahead OF Cerro Gordo in the matter
of sign removal by reason OF the fact
| that Cerro Gordo officials looked be-
| fore they leaped and asked the at
torney generals office whether they
they had the right to tear down the
signs. The result was an opinion
supporting the contemplated action
Of the board.
Ruling Of Attorney General.
j. w. Sandusky, assistant in charge
OF questions pertaining to the high
ways In the attorney generals Of
hce. prepared the following opinion:
"A public highway from side to
side. and end to end. belongs to the
public, and the question is too well
settled to be the subject of dispute.
It has been repeatedly held that an
obstruction need not entirely block
traffic In order to be subject Of re-
| moval. It Is classed as an obstruc-
/ ton fit Is an impeachment or hinder
! nnce which tends to interfere with
free passage along the highways.
1T might further be stated that no
person has a right to appropriate a
.. part OF the highway to his own use
by using it for the posting of signs
or advertising matter. The highway
belongs to the public and the public
may protect its use Of such premises
by removing all distractions placed
therein.
THAT advertising signs are OBJ
stacles tending to impede passage
along highway can be established
by inquiry OF any tourist who has
tried to follow marked trail and
been obliged to stop at n corner and
read over a dozen signs to ascertain
the official marker"
Highway Commission Approves.
The action Of Franklin and Cerro
Gordo counties has met with the APP
prevail OF the Iowa state highway
commission. The commission in 1913
put the ban on advertising signs on
bridges and culverts and frowned on
the use on any part Of the right-of-
| way. From time to time various
counties have issued orders forbid
ding the erection Of such signs. Re-
Gently on federal aid projects it has
ordered that all signs be torn down.
The action Of the attorney generals
office. members of the commission
believe. may become effective in
starting a final effort to drive signs

OFF the' right Of way. There Is still
no way to prevent the erection OF
signs on private property adjoining
the highway. Only public sentiment
and the land owner can prevent this.
