BAN ON SIGNS IS
INVALID, THINKS
TOWN'SLAWYER
MIR. Sawyer's Opinion Is That
ZOning Law Is a Denial of
Property Rights
E. c. SMITH MADE PROTEST

Following a protest to the
board of aldermen against the
ordinance forbidding billboards
in Chapel Hill, B. D. Sawyer, the
towns attorney, has given the
opinion that this part of the
Zoning ordinance is invalid.
The protest was presented to
the aldermen by E. Darlington
Smith, manager of the Carolina
Theatre. BilIboards maintain
ed by the theatre have been the
subject Of considerable discus
sion since the zoning faw was en-
acted. The board of appeals
created under the law voted to
permit the retention of certain
signs which were in existence
prior to the enactment of the
zoning law, but set a time by
which the signs would have to
come down.
Mr., Smith, advancing the con-
tention that the ban on bill
boards was a violation Of pro-
perty rights, asked the aldermen
to withdraw the ban. Where
upon the aldermen referred the
matter to Mr.. Sawyer. He gave
his opinion after examining the
statutes and court decisions on
the subject Of billboards. His
opinion has not yet been formal
ly presented to the aldermen and
entered in the minutes.
1t remains to be seen whether
or not the aldermen will deter
mine upon a further eXamina-
ton Of the legal questions in
VolVed.

Alterations in the Presidents House

sliding doors between the hall
and the living room have been
replaced by quadruple folding
doors.
Formerly the staircase went
up from the middle rear of the
hall, the steps being exactly. op-
posite the front door. Now it
goes up from the left, near the
dining room, to a landing; winds
along the rear wall of the house
to a second landing; and then
goes up to the west side of the
upstairs hall. Mr.. Burch's car
penter force has paneled it
beautifully.
Hardwood floors have been
put in, and the radiators have
been covered with cabinets. Out
in the yard the terra Gotta drain
pipes, which became choked with
tree-roots, have given place to

Chapel Hill Chaf

Recently a New York paper
published an editorial on meth
ods Of curing poison ivy-or, as
many of us in the South still
call it, poison oak. My solution
for this problem is the same as
for. many other of life's .perplex-
tiles: Go ask Carl Durham.
Local solution of razor-blade
disposal problem:
The McClamrochs have been
given a Scotch terrier. Name {:
"Scotty." Pages of pedigree ac-
companied "Scotty,' and a sort
of continuation of his story be-
gan to appear in serial form. Of
the two numbers received so far,
Number One informed his own
ers of the diseases his kind of
dog was subject to; Number
Two instructed them minutely
as to his diet.
The McClamrochs' sense of
responsibility grew with each
sending. But it was somewhat
relieved when they were subse-
quently informed that at his
previous domicile, "Scotty' had
eaten two razor blades and half
of Macaulay's History Of Eng
ldHd.
That solves the razor-blade
disposal problem locally. Any
thing Scotch that can digest a
Wing history Of England ought
to eat up all the razor blades you
could feed it. (COntribated)
