ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, February 15.--Appearing be-
fore the Board of County Supervisors Of
Arlington County today committee of
Chamber of Commerce, headed by
Frank c. Campbell, urged that a tax
of so cents square foot be assessed
against signboards along the public
highways in the county and that the
revenue derived from the tax be used
to paJ the expenses of the zoning Com
mission
The suggestion met with the opposi-
ton of Crandal Mackey, prominent To-
cal attorney and property owner, and
Edgar Humphrey, attorney for large
Slgnboard company. The supervisors
advised the committee to prepare an
ordinance and submit it for their ap-
proval at the next meeting.
While the recommendation aimed at
the large commercial signs placed along
the highways by foreign advertising
concerns, the board stated that the or
dinance must cover every type of adver-
Using sign in the county.
According to Campbell, the Chamber
OF Commerce has been receiving MANY
complaints against the signboards, the
compliments insisting that they tend to
cneapen the appearance of the county
Duncan called to the attention of the
committee the fact that the signboard
companies pay yearly rental to the
owners OF property on which they are
placed
Referring to the coming of the county,
Campbell suggested the laying of levy
OF 3 cents to obtain the funds with
which to meet the expenses of the zon-
ing commission in case of the failure to
pass the signboard ordinance.
