SIGNS AND LIGHTS
ORDERED Off MARQUES
; Street Directors Will Enforce
Ordinances Regulating Signs
Over Sidewalks.


Charles r. Evans. as attorney. and
Levi ID. Maioney, representing the Al
dine Theatre. appeared before the
street and sewer Department this
morning and submitted the plans Of
the marquee in front Of the theatre
-. Market street for approval Of the
board. Mr.. Evans also discussed with
the members their recent ruling that
tho lettering and electric signs on the
marquee IN question be removed The
directors promised to give the matter
their consideration and advise him Of
their action.
II was stated AT the department Of
nee that the marquee was erected
without permission from the depart
rnent which permission Is necessary,
and that the lettering on Il is con
tiary tu the provisions 9f IN ordi-
nance nassed by the board in May.
1914. prohibiting signs on buildings be-
yond four feet from the building liz"
Alr. Evans said the marquee IL safs
and sound and he thought the electric
lights and lettering when illuminated
helped brighten the street and give IL
a metropolitan air
The directors. however. explained
that none gf the other theatres with
a marauae in front are permitted to
have signs or lettering on them and
they could hardly discriminate in favor
of one house. especially when the
marquee was erected without the
boards permission. They have recently
ordered everything off the. marquee
and that II be made plain like al the
others, although they we're willing 10
! permit IL to remain in place.
| Manager Wiley of the Grand Opera
/ House. in front of which a marquee is
being built. asked for permission to
put an electric sign on it. He was adj
vised the whole question viii be deter
mined later by the board.
| Holmes Jones. in a letter to the
| board. suggested as n means Of rev.
onue for the city that electric signs
| be allowed along the street at so much
/ per sign and he wrote that he believed
/ the theatres would be willing to pay
such license for this means Of adj
vertising However, he suggested to the
directors that they adopt their own
1921 brand of business judgment "tc
the end that 1883 view point may not
be used to work hardship upon any
one" The writer declared the ques'
tion was one of no moment to him one
way or the other. But his letter
continued. II sincerely regret to not
secret complaints registered againe
business activity and petty annoy.

undiscIosed individuals can stand bacl
and chuckle while you good gentle
men do your duty. That element in thi
community. a constantly diminishing
proportion. is not. the kind worthy 0

The directors had no comment {,
make regarding the letter and it va
filed without further action.
