Wisconsin and National Asso-
citation Recommend Control
of Unsightly signboards

A resolution recommending the
problem of unsightly billboard and
other outdoor advertising to the
control of local coming and city
planning commission and other city
and state executives has just beer
passed by the Wisconsin Associa-
ton Of Real Esate Brokers at its
annual convention held in Green
Bay.
The Wisconsin group has pat.
termed its resolution after q similar
Que passed by the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards at its
convention this summer at Detroit.
I'VE hold that the indiscriminate
use OF signboards today retards the
development of desirable districts
and tends to destroy values in dis
tricts already built up" the resol1-
ton states In part. I'VE hold
further that the time has come
when we should determine whether
or not the character, location, extent
and maintenance Of signboards can
not be so regulated and controlled
as to give legitimate opportunity
Tor necessary advertising without
the continuance OF the present harm
ful conditions, therefore be it.
Resolved, that the Wisconsin As
ISOLATION OF Real Estate Brokers
recommend to the various execu-
tives, city and municipal, and to
the various planning and fzoning
commissions that immediate study
Be made of this problem. which shall
prevent the destroying OF the
beauty spots Of the open country
and discontinuance OF any I'M
slightly conditions in any OF our
cities.
The resolution as passed by the
national association and the Wiscon.
sin association is the expression of
q general movement. Real estate
boards have been active to reduce
the number Of signs on vacant
property with the idea of preserving
the appearance. A resolution has
been passed in Portland, Oregon,
opposing the use Of bfllboards and
advertising signs along the public
highways.

BARTLETT AWARDED PLAYGROUND MEET
Revision Of Points in Error Sends Smith Into Third Place

The Bartlett playground was awarded first place in the fourth an nua field and track meet of the city playgrounds held at Willow Brook park last Wednesday. Smith had been awarded the meet with total of 49 points. but number of errors were made on the awarding of points and following meeting of the directors in City hall last night, the revision of the awards gave Bartlett the meet and put Smith in third place.
 The first question taken up for discussion was the suit caac raCc.s In this event, the only runner entered race was declared forfeited. Then Smith claimed nine points. making the total of points possible in the race. A question was raised as to what the ruling was in this matter and Dick Anderson was empowered to write to the secretary of the A. A. '. to get a ruling on it. For the settlement of last nights problems Smiths score for this event was marked down as five.
 Director Holcran of Willow Brook then brought up the question | of a girl who was entered from his grounds in the baseball throw being excluded from the event after com- ing In first for being overweight. The officials in charge of the event had been under the impression that tho throw was limited to girls weighing between GO and so pounds, It was found that the events was limited to girls over G5 pounds with no limit on the weight over that figure. This decided the question and the Willow Brook girl was awarded first place. This put Smith in third and Nathan Hale in second for this event.
 The long-lcGgcd ace forfeited to Fnrritt was also questioned and this will be settled the same as the con- trovorsy over Smith was.
 Nathan Hale also lost some points when it was found that points were awarded to the grounds when an other playground was awarded the race. The events in which Nathan Hale lost were the midget race and the protato race.
 The big question of the evening came when the question of Whc
