The large advertising sign which was located on the banks of the Pe- quahuck river just east of the East street bridge and which for many years has presented blank surface to Boulevard traffic has finally been removed. The sign. nearly loo feet long. was erected by an out Of town concern shortly after the completion of the Memoria! Boulevard nearly seven years ago and ii faced slightly 10 the east SO that motorists com ing into Bristol by way of the Boulevard could not fail to see the advertisements with which it was planned to adorn the sign.
 All the years, however. the large eXpanse of potential advertising space has stood there, mute evidence of the will of the board of park commissioners that the parks of Bristol shall not be put to com- ! merclal uses with the profits there from going 10 private concerns. l While the advertising structure was built on private property and it's erection could not be prevented by 1 the park commissioners. shortly after its erection the information was allowed to leak out that plans for beautltying the park which is traversed by the Memorial Boule- yard contemplated the planting of a row of fast growing Poplar trees on the south bank Of the river just about opposite the sign board. With the possibility of any advertising that might be placed on the board being obscured from public view. it became extremely difficult to sell contracts for space on the boarI with the result that the paint brush of the sign painter has never marred the surface.
