Good in Co-operation.

Flavel Shurtleff, Boston architect,
emphasized the value of complete CO.
operation with state agencies con-
cerned with public works. Through
this it has been possible to develop
interlinking parkway systems in con
junction with the state commission
charged with the parkway work Of
the metropolitan district The effect
has been to rim and interline the town
with wide thoroughfares .radiating
out into surroundings of natural
scenery, some of which is already held
in reservation by the commonwealth.
The water supply of Winchester
occupies somewhat unique position.
Natural basins were secured and de-
veIoped at cost of about 100000,
and 100000 have been realized in
revenues since its creation, Mr.. Shurt-
left said. There is no habitation near
the reservoirs and no vehicles are per-

oaudy Advertising Sign Boards Along
The Highways Are Well Called a
Menace TO the Traveller.

The order Of the state highway COM
mission, requiring the removal of all
advertising sign boards from state
highways by July l, 1922, win meet
with general approval. AS rule,
these signs are placed with conspicu-
Gus disregard for the safety of mo-
florists. Most of them defeat their
own purpose. So placed as to com
pei the attention of a motorist, they
draw his interest, not to the merits
OF the commodity advertised, but to
the folly Of obstructing the view at
crossing.
3 While there is some doubt as to the
scope of the order, it will have ben
efcal effect upon the campaign to
eliminate signboards which disfgure
the landscape. There Is and can be
no objection to neat route. detour and
warning signs designed to promote
the usefulness of roads, but the
gaudy boards which hide the view Of
the country, and even of the roads,
from travellers, have long since sunk
to the status Of nuisances. In or
dering them eliminated, the highway
commission is merely responding to
the weight of public opinion. Many
farmers have torn the signs down on
their own ty.-Indianapo-
