works.
The ordinance was framed by Town
Solicitor Bird II. Dolby and adopted
under authority of the towns new
charter passed at the last session Of the
Legislature.
Although the new charter does not
give the town authority to prohibit the
sale Of fireworks, 1t permits town off,
cials to charge not more than $50 for
an annual license.
Another feature of the ordinance,
aimed at fireworks dealers, provided
that the license year begin June IS.
Thus any one desiring to sell fireworks
early In June would be required to OBJ
tain two annual licenses.
The sale and discharge of fireworks
along the comparatively narrow boule-
ward has been blamed for many auto
mobile accidents and during the past
two years has been unSuccesSfuLy

who have sought to put an end to a

SURVEY OF ILLEGAL

SILVER SPRING, Md, May 15.-A
vigorous campaign to eliminate hun
dreds Of illegal signs on the highways
leading into washington will be begun
within the next few days by the Mary
land-National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, the first step being
a survey of all improperly placed signs
in the metropolitan district of Mont
gomery and Prince Georges Counties.
Decision to make the survey was
reached at meeting Of the commits

started as soon as possible under super

I'VE do not intend to let the matter
rest until the illegal signs come down."
Mr.. Root said this morning. The in
formation we compile on the illegal
signs will be turned over to J. Bond
Smith, attorney for the commission, for
proper action"
Under the coming ordinance now in
force throughout the metropolitan area
signs can be erected only in CONNER
cial and industrial areas after a permit
has been issued by the county COM
missioners. This applies to tin signs
that are tackled on trees and posts, as
well as the large billboards

or sale and few other similar types
are the only kind permitted in resi-
dental areas. Persons responsible for
illegally placed signs are subject to a
fine Of $50 day, and each day the
sign Is In place constitutes separate
offenSe.
The survey to be conducted by the
commission will list the location Of the
sign, the owner of the property on
which 1t IS erected, who erected It and
what advertising 1t carries. Although
the zoning ordinance, requiring q per-
init for the construction, alteration or
repair OF all signs, has, according to
Mr.. Root, resulted in some improve
ment by reducing the number of signs,
word has reached the commission that
signs are being constructed without
permits.

The survey was reported as in line
