relief fund which would supplement
the work of private charity. in taking
care of emergencies in the National

Referring to the system in effect in
Massachusetts,, where public funds are
dispensed to take care of the needy,
the speaker said the system had come
into use very largely during the present
depression.
Charging that prosperity" statements
issued by the administration had done
much to bring about present tragic
conditions, he said, II suspect also that
the Government is guilty of certain sins
of omission which do not quite give it
clear bill of immunity to present
conditions

vice president"
Mr. Lane is interested all the way
in plans for the Identification of WASH
ington's highway approaches. The
campaign of the American Civic Asso-
citation which has a 20-mile radius of
the District line within its scope aims
at the elimination not only of billboards
and other forms of outdoor advertising,
but radiance also of the trash dumps.
automobile cemeteries" unkept garages
and filling stations and scores of hot
dog" stands and other nuisances that
clutter the highways.
Advertising in 2-MiIe Zone.
Most of the advertising of the Hotels
Management & Securities Corporation
is within the Emile zone which the
Bicentennial Commission and the Com
mittee of the National Capital of the
Garden Club of America is interested
in cleaning up But Mr.. Lanes corpo-
ration is preparing to cooperate as
much as possible in connection with the
plans of the American Civic Associa-
ton outside the 2-mile limit.
I'VE heartily approve plans for max
ing the highways of Washington as at
tractiye as possible" said Mr.. Lane.

elimination Of other structures besides
billboards which spoil the landscape
Occasionally it is found that billboards
hide offensive sights along the roads,
like trash heaps or some other form Of
nuls-nces Taking down the billboards

in such cases would not do much toward
improving appearances unless the clean
ing up process is made thorough"
The corporation has indicated its own
attitude toward the DETACHMENT of high
ways by large billboards, however, well
constructed they may be, by taking i'm
mediate steps to stop the erection of
additional ones and its assurances that
other boards will be abandoned when
contracts expire. 1t is the usual thing
for billboard contracts to run for a
period of three years, but there are
many instances involving boards in the
Washington area, it was learned, where
the contracts run for five years.
Foes of BiIIbOards EIated.
Mr.. Bloom and officers of the Ameri-
can Civic Association we're elated to
hear of the policy adopted by the man
agement of this large chain of hotels
and apartments. Not only the spirit
of cooperation displayed so willingly,
but the example set, they believed,
would be an important factor in bring
