The tremendous growth Of motor
traffic In recent years has emphasized
the Importance of making America S
highways more beautiful and nowhere
in the United States should greater
effort be made to beautify the high
ways than in the vicinity of Washing
ton, according to Thomas j. Keefe,
general manager of the American
Motorists Association.
Recognition of this fact has been
made by the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission in washington,
which vigorously opposes the erection
of any biliboards within the metropoli-
tan area of the Nations Capital. IN
fortunately, the commission is without
authority to enforce its recommends
tions.
Cooperating. however, with the
and control of billboards and sign
boards in Maryland is sought in q bill
recently introduced in the House Of
Delegates by Kent r. Mullikin Of
Laurel, Md.
Would License Signs.
The bill provides for licensing by the
commissioner of highways Of all such
signs, permits to be issued only after
written application, giving the proposed
location, size, distance from grade
crossing, If within 800 feet, material to
be used and distance from the highway.
The license fee is fixed in the bill at
IS cents per square yard. measured
around the outside edge Of all signs, the
fee to be an annual one. Issuance Of
the license is made mandatory, unless
it is deemed to be hazard to trafi1c
If, after erection of a sign, complaint
is made that it is a hazard to traffic,
the bill provides for 8 public hearing
and If the hazard is found to exist
notice must be given to the owner to
days would then permit the States
authorities to remove the sign.
The National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, however, goes further
in It's recommendations as to the re-
moval of billboards adjacent TO the
highways of the Capital. The commits
sion favors elimination Of all billboards
"a proposal which the American Mo-
torists' Association has Endorsed.
Hundreds of large signs mar the
scenic beauty Of practically every point
Of vantage on every highway leading
out of Washington, while thousands OF
small hand-painted boards or stamped
tin signs are promiscuously nailed to
trees and telegraph poles.
Highways Are Fairgrounds.
The highways have become Ameri-
cas- playground, where millions of mo-
florists spend their leisure hours In
search of restfulness, beauty and charm
The necessity and demand for combin-
ing beauty with utility has become more
pronounced with the growth of tourist
traffic in recent years.
The application of purely unitarian
standards in highways construction
meets engineering and economic re-
quirements, but the motorist who seeks
recreation In his automobile Is cheated
out Of the natural beauty which belongs
to him, Mr.. Keefe declares.
There is a growing and inSistent de-
mand for Identification of national
highways. California, Massachusetts and
Connecticut have demonstrated how
much can be done, at small cost, to

CAR REGISTRATION
UNIFORMITY URGED
A. M. A. Advocates Standard
ization of Systems by
States.

Standardization of various methods
of automobile registration throughout
the United States is to be urged by the
American Motorists Association on all
State Legislatures meeting this Fail.
A comparison of the manner in which
the AZ States compute the license fees
for motor vehicles shows that there are
16 different methods.
Is Methods in Use Listed.
Following is list of the Is methods
used in arriving at the motorists regis
tration fee:
Horsepower-l4 States.
Net weight-10 States.
Net weight and horsepower-5 States.
Gross weight and horsepower
States.
Gross weights States.
Net weight plus times registered-1

plus times registered-1 State.
Manufacturers list price, State.
Cost price, State.
Flat rates States.
Cubic-inch displacement-1 State.
Value based upon 10 per cent depre-
citation each year up to eight years
State.
The primary reason for standard
ization of the States registration fees,
it is pointed out by Thomas j. Keefe,
general manager of the association, is
real necessity for Is methods of compu-
tation.
1.-THE best argument for standardiza-
ton of registration methods, however, is
found in the fact that the present sys-
TENS mean discrimination between mo-
florists Of various States.
Discrimination in This Area Cited.
"In the District of Columbia, for ex-
ample, the registration fee is based upon
a fiat rate of 81. In adjacent Maryland
the fee is based upon horsepower, the
average last year being $1,000 per We
hicle, or more than 10 times the regis
tration fee in the District of Columbia,
and illustrates clearly the discrimination
between the motorists of the District of
Columbia and Maryland.
Another example of discrimination
may be found in Minnesota between
motorists of the same State. The regis
tration fee is based on value each year,
the law allowing 10 per cent deprecia-
ton up to and including the eighth year.
The owner of a new car pays "a per
cent registration fee on its value, while
the owner of an old car of the same
make and original value would be al
lowed to register his at less COST" Mr..
Keefe points out.
Concerted action on Standardization
by the States, the association declares,
would be possible, though hard to OBJ
tain. The plan of the national organ
ization is to sell" the Standardization
registration fee idea to the States much
in the same manner as the model mu-
nicipal traffic ordinances and the uni
form State traffic code of the National
Conference on Street and Highway
Safety Is being sold" for adoption by
State and municipal lawmakers.

REMOVAL OF SIGNBOARDS
URGED TO BEAUTIFY ROADS
States Fail to Take Advantage of Fund
Authorized by Congress for lmprov-
ing United States Highways.

beautify the roadsides by iudicious
planting Of native trees, shrubs and
perennial flowers.
Congress already has recognized the
need for highway Identification by au-
thorizing expenditure of Federal funds,
in cooperation with the States, for
roadside tree planting. This law was
approved May 81, 1928, more than a
year ago, but to date the Bureau Of
Public Roads, which has charge Of the
fund. has not been asked to authorize
an expenditure or to cooperate in q
single roadside planting project.
The Identification of the Nations
highways could be materially enhanced
by the planting Of trees and elimina-
ton of roadside billboards, Mr.. Keefe
says. Cooperation of the States. how
ever, is essential as the Federal author
ization for use of Federal funds in tree
planting provides that the United States
Bureau of Public Roads, only when re-
quested, Is empowered to cooperate
with the States in this respect. Now
that the funds are available the States,
according to Keefe, should Immediately
include roadside tree planting In their
annual highway programs.
