WAR ON b|LLBOARDS
SHOWING PROGRESS
Real Beginning Made in Free
ing Maryland Approaches
From Eyesores.

Records show that real beginning
has been made in freeing the Maryland
approaches to Washington of their dis
figuring billboards. Nearly 20 per cent
or 118 Of the signboards on the Balti-
more Washington Pike, known as
Highway No. /, have been taken down
within the past II months, according
to the American Civic Association
These are not merely "snipe" signs, but
actual boards standing on their own
props, 20 of which were painted bulle-
tins Of the large type.
These figures were obtained in a
second check-up Of the stretch of road
from Maryland University grounds to
Cation avenue, Baltimore, which had
one year before revealed a count of
603 billboards In the survey of the
highway approaches to Washington,
conducted by Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Law
ton for the American Civic Association.
Only 154 Remain.
Only 154 large painted bulletins are
now standing along this stretch; IL of
these are blank, 80 advertise gasoline
and As advertise hotels; 7 bear the
advertisement of a Baltimore manu-
facturer.
More than. half Of the signs which
have disappeared, IS to be exact, were
removed from the 9l2 miles between
Laurel and Baltimore. This more strik-
ing result on the Washington end of
the road is due in part to the vigorous
campaign which was waged by the
American Civic Association to persuade
local firms in Washington to give up
their boards. Several of the Washing
ton hotels and several national firms
also withdrew their signs from this
territory.
The new Maryland law for the regu-
lation of outdoor advertising. which be-
came effective last year is responsible
for the removal of many "Snipe" signs.
Maryland now requires a permit for
each sign and the fee for each permit
is V cent per square foot.
Subject to Removal.
The "snipe" signs which have taken
out no permits become illegal and sub
iect to removal The Maryland State
Roads Commission is removing such
boards from all locations within 500
feet Of the public highways
The defeat OF the Virginia law to
tax billboards does not assure similar
cooperation from the southern APP
breaches to Washington. The compile
ton by the Government however, of
the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway
between Monnt Vernon and Washington
guarantees the Federal City one ap-
proach where the beauty cannot be
marred by signs Of any description.

Grating at that location.

nue., and likewise is still doing business
