BILLBOARD MISUSE:
TO Be CHECKED UP
Real Estate Men Asked to
Observe Conditions-Pub-
| lie Interest Considered.

A call to real estate boards over the
United States to check on any misuse
or obnoxious use of billboards in their
communities has just been. sent out
by the National Association of Real
Estate Boards through its commit
tee on city. planning and zoning. AXel
Lonnquist of Chicago, chairman of
the committee. has issued a statement
to the 657 member boards of the as
sociation giving the attitude of the
associations committee in the matter
of control of the billboard, sign and
poster nuisance.
Mr.. LonnquiSt states:
Realtors of the United States in
general. being custodians of property,
are interested in the control of bill
boards. in the removal Of signs along
the public highways and in the paint
ing of rocks and the mutilation of
nature on property belonging by vir-
tue of the right of way, to the people,
and in the posting OF bills on trees.
poles and other places without proper
permits, and, further, in the placing
of billboards where they mar the
beauty of the landscape or endanSer
life and property by obscuring the
vision at turns or corners along the
right of way"
Favor Legitimate Use.
The National Association of Real
Estate Boards i'm its stand in regard
to proper control of the use of bill
boards is not opposing their legitimate
use, and is planning to cooperate with
the outdoor advertising interests to
the end that regulation may con-
serve legitimate use as well as public
rights. the committee points out.
The Outdoor Advertising AsSocia-
ton at meeting held year ago in
kansas City adopted certain standards
of practice in regard TO painted dis
plays and poster advertising. With
these standards of practice the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards is in accord. 1t is working
with the Outdoor Advertising Associa-
tlon in the endeavor of that associa-
ton to control it's own industry.
This does not mean, however. that
we are going to allow any smoke
screen to be thrown in the eyes of the
public in regard to abuses of the out
door advertising situation" Mr.Lonn-
Quist states.

The committee proposes that real
estate boards of the national associa-
ton report on the progress being made
In their particular communities to.

boards, their erection in residential
districts and the setback from the

1t holds that 1t is not outside the

erection of the billboard may do

again tries to pacify the region? Such
an armed truce might be long and

Moreover. French and Spanish
methods of colonization are totally
different and some French authorities
fear too long cooperation with the

Price Would Increase.
While it was pointed out that 1t
may be some years before the land
at Forts Washington and Hunt will
actually be tied to the park system,
1t was added that the Government
should not permit these valuable
properties, high in historic interest, ia
slip into private hands at a cOmpar-
atively nominal cost and then he
faced in later years with the propo-
sition of buying them back at several
times the present-day sale figure.
However, it Is not admitted that
they cannot be used now. Both are
located at ideal points on the Poto-
mac River, and, aside from their SEN
timental value. which demands their
preservation in the hands Of the Gov.
ernment. they would furnish ideal
recreation spots, within a half-hour's S
run by automobile from the Capital
City.
The two posts have fine beaches,
and are located on the channel of the
Potomac, making them accessible for
boats of all drafts. Both posts have
good buildings in a good state of pres
ervation. It was added that the
historic works, built by Maj. L'Enfant,
who developed the plan for the city
or washington, as one OF his last acts
for this Government before his death,
would have absolutely no value to a
private purchaser, but are priceless
from the standpoint of their preserva-
tion among the places of interest in
and about the Capital City.
Other Chances Lost.
In this connection, 1t was pointed
out that many of the historical places
in the Capital City have been lost for
ever in their original state because the
Government failed to take prompt
action for their preservation. While
the bill provides for their purchase as
a part of the park system and for the
protection Of the Potomac water shed,
it was said the funds would be merely

to another. The War Department is
