GOTWALS ARb|TER
IN BILLBOARD ROW
Engineer Commissioner AS
sumes Full Responsibility in
Signboard Dispute.

Maj. John c. Gotwals, Engineer Com
missioner of the District has assumed
full charge of all matters involved in
the plan of the General Outdoor Ad
vertising Co. to establish precedent
here by erecting a new billboard fence
in the heart of one Of the largest in
dustrial areas of the city.
A strong believer in impartial sign
law enforcement, Maj Gotwals Is Civ
ing careful and diSinterested attention
to all the conflicting arguments ad-
vanced for and against the proposal,
which opponents contend is contrary to
the aim of the regulations.
Meanwhile, new developments which
have occurred have served to hold up
for the time being the carrying out Of
the earlier plan of the Commissioners
to grant the permit for the company
to replace old boards with new ones on
0 street at the intersection of New
York and Florida avenues northeast.
Watch Cleanup.
Both Maj. Gotwals and DR. Luther H.
Reichelderfer were interested In the
cleanlng-up process underway at
the automobile dump which the new
20-foot billboard fence was proposed to
screen. They each agreed that pictures
OF the improved conditions on this let
indicated that the billboard fence might
be an entirely unnecessary screen Maj.
GotWalS said he would watch the course
of improvements with personal interest,
as the main argument advanced for the
erection of the billboard screen was
based on the unsightly condition of the
lot.
The District government, Maj. Got
walls said, is directly interested in the
general improvement CT the northeast
industrial area and is already carrying
forward its own Improvement program
He indicated that he would take these
matters in consideration also. as they
had a bearing on the question Of
whether new and permanent billboards
should be erected in the vicinity.

the Commissioners authority to revoke
permits for signs and billboardS.

Favors Replacement.
The property is owned by the Winslow
estate. It's representative, Francis Win

plan to replace the old boards. He said, |
however, he would cooperate in en-
deavoring to have the lessee keep con-
ditions improved, as he has tried to do
in the past.
Maj Gotwals, who has impartial en-
forcement Of the sign regulations in
mind, is giving weight to arguments
that permit to grant the erection of
new billboards on this site is regarded |
as discrimination by some in favor Of |
the outdoor advertising industry. 1t was
learned by The Star that applications
for the erection Of new signs and bill
boards would be made by other interests
if this permission is actually granted.
