According to survey of State stat
utes on the subject of commercial ad-
vertising signs along public highways,
made by the Bureau of Public Roads
of the Department of Agriculture, only
seven States are without any legisla-

However, according to a report made
by Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of the
Bureau of Public Roads, it was stated
that Nevada is the only State in the
Union that enforces measures to pre-
serve the scenic beauty of the roads
from advertising billboards. MIR. Mac
Donald reported that Nevada grants no
permits for the erection of any bill
boards, signs or other forms of notice
on any location where such signs may
meaSurably destroy the natural beauty
of the scenery or obscure the view of
roads ahead or of curves or grades or
intersecting highways or railroads.
