MASSACHUSETTS
AT ARMACEDDON
ON BILLBOARDS
INJUNCTION HOLDS UP ALL
LEGAL RESTRICTION OF
wAYsIDE HORRORS AND
CASE MAY BE APPEALED

BOSTON, April 6.-The long
struggle by the people of Massa-
chusetts to save the landscape
from billboard blight has reached
crisis for the state and nation.
Public indignation against the I'M
restricted intrusion of biIlboards
upon country roadsides and
towns resulted in 1918 in a big
popular vote amending the State
Constitution to legalize control of
such advertising; and later,
through the continued efforts of
many public spirited organiza-
tions, a present billboard law and
regulations were enacted, to take
full effect July /, 1925.
The great majority of the bill
boards in Massachusetts, now
stand in defiance of the law. The
combined bill-posting companies
of the United States, through able
attorneysi backed by ample finan-
cia, resources, are attacking the
law IN the Supreme judicial Court
of the Commonwealth on the claim
that it is unconstitutional.
They have applied for an in.
junction restraining the Massa-
chusetts Department of Public
Works from enforcing the state
regulations for billboards, and foi
similar injunction upon the Sc
lectmen of Concord, who are try.
ing to enforce their local bylaw
against advertisers maintaining H.
legal billboards in that historic
town.
All legal restriction of bill
boards in Massachusetts, is held
up by temporary injunction, pend.
ing the argument and decision OF
these cases. If the State Court
sustalns the law, the billboard M
terests will appeal to the SuprepiF
Court of the United States. r.
long and expensive legal contest
has been. started. the final issue
of which will either establish le-
gal regulation of billboards in this
country on safe foundation, or
destroy all hope of effective re-
:traint of this growing evil.
Billboards not. only damage
property, public and private, by
defacing the neighborhood, put
ting good building lumber to a
bad use, but in many ways are
dangerous to the public health.
safety and morals. A large board,
obstructing the view of motorists
at a street corner, is a familiar
example of menace to public
safety.
