ing to present indications, there will be

State highway. tearing down the "snipe"
signs and making complete list of all
signs left standing
The voluminous undertaking will
continue today and possibly several
other days will be devoted to it. If it
is found the roads cannot be completely
covered in two days.

not been licensed will be removed.
Small signs of the type now being
removed have long been considered as
particularly Objectionable. Delegate

ton is sought in both the billboard laws
enacted by the recent Legislature.
