Victory for Posters.
Despite the decision of the Commis-
sioners to confine the replacement pro-
gram to a single locality, the results
of Maj. Davison's latest compromise is
regarded by some as significant VIC
tory for the billboard industry in
Washington. The New York head
quarters of the General Co. has long
sought to secure foothold in Wash
ington for its new type OF panel poster.
Described as an ideal substitute for the
old type of billboard, these glorified
poster panels were rejected by ma
jority of the public interest groups that
sought to reconcile their differences
with the whole billboard industry at a
conference held here about year ago.

General Co. may go toward undermin-
ing the sign regulations Is matter on
which there has always been a diff
ference of opinion. While admitting the
necessity of compromise before the law
was enacted, some of the public interest
groups discount the need of further
compromise. The danger involved to
the sanctity of the sign regulations was
illustrated only short while ago. when
O serious dispute arose between the
company and the Sign Committee over
the removal of unauthorized billboards
The company, throught its attorneys
had succeeded for several weeks in
baking every attempt of the Sign Com
mittee to compel it to live up to an
agreement to take down all boards on
the unauthorized list Having Cancelled
the advertising contracts, the company
contended it had fulfilled all its obliga-
tions in the matter Its interest and
responsibility for the billboards ended

spite refusal of repair permits, the
Commissioners some time ago admitted
that in the past many of the billboaros
had. been reconditioned without au-
thority. Recently an employe OF the
General outdoor Advertising co.
pleaded guilty in Police Court to such
an offense.
While most Of the billboards at the
intersection of New York and Florida
avenues are in good condition, as re-
yealed by an inspection, some at least
have suffered from the ravages Of time
and elements BY replacing them with
strong new structures. even with the
loss of five boards, the advantage to
the General Co. was sufficient to COM
pensate that loss.
If such a policy of replacing is al
lowed to continue, the American Civic
Association reminded the Commission
ers, at would sacrifice the 10 years
start we have on allowing these bill
deprecated and then ordered down.
See Monopoly.
Even with the condition that some
200 billboards be removed from resi-
Dental and public building locations in
order to give 800 boards a new lease
on life in commercial and industrial
areas, the outdoor advertisers would
be placed just exactly where they de-
sire That is, they would have approx
mately 800 billboards protected from
competition of any kind, and SO even
tually would be given monopoly"
The concealment of some OF the
trash, as well as a huge automobile
dump, by these new latticed billboards
would be decided improvement to the
neighborhood in the opinion Of Maj.
Dawson and the Commissioners. 1t
was one of the reasons for the latter
granting the permission.
Miss James. who was taken to In
spect the location at Maj. Davisons di-
rection, believed the appearances could
be remedied by the authorities mo
matter what conclusion is reached con-
cerning billboards" The Commission
ers, however, feel differently about that.

prompted the Commissioners to qualify

which played major part in securing
passage of the new sign law, wrote:
I'VE would prefer to see the bill
boards of the National Capital gradu-
ally become more than so per cent de-
preciated and then be ordered down
than to see a new lease on life given
to billboards which have not been
legally repaired during the past decade.
Want Boards Banned.
"But if after full investigation and
consideration of the pernicious results
of fastening upon the Federal City new
billboarrds in place of old ones which
have been permitted to deteriorate
under the policy of the District Com
missioners for the past decade, the
Commissioners decide to grant permiS-
sion for repair of certain billboards
located in commercial and industrial
areas on condition that all bill
boards and wall signs be removed from
residential and public building loca-
tionS. we will accept the decision of the
Commissioners, though we cannot con-
cur in the judgment which would
warrant such decision and we reserve
the right to work for more stringent
billboard law which would provide the
ultimate elimination of billboards from
the National Capital"
The substitution of new boards for
old ones, though confined to this single
oocation. is regarded by some of the
o;blic groups that joined in securing
the sign law as a discrimination in
favor of the billboard company out
side the range of the agreement
which the Sign Committee made with
respect to the removal of boards from
residential and so-called Shipstead
zones. To provide for this abandon
ment program within three years. the
Sign Committee, of which Maj. Davi-
son was the chairman, felt itself COM
PEELED to agree to the repairing and
reconditioning IN commercial and in
dustrial areas, along with other con-
cessions that were made. Whether
such compromise was necessary was
the subject of public controversy at the
time. Since the repairs were to be per-
mitted only with the consent of the
Commissioners, it was felt that pro-
vided sufficient safeguard to public
interests
Repairs Refused.
Under the admitted policy of the
last 10 years, no new billboardS have
been authorized within the District nor
have repairs been permitted legally.

HURLEY OUTLINES
HIS POLICY UPON
PUBLIC MATTERS

As the time required m perform
ance of duties as chairman of the
San Diego county board of super
visors prevents him from making
| personal contact with the voters in
this congressional district, Tom
Hurley, Democratic candidate for
/ congress from this district, has
stated his attitude with reference
TO some of the more outstanding
issues of the day as follows:
He accepts and endorses the
adopted Democratic platform 100
per cent.
He favorS repeal of the 18th
amendment, expressing the belief
that no other legislation could
make the country wetter than it
is at present.
He favorS diversion of revenue,
which is now accruing to organized
crime and corrupt officials, to its
proper ehannel-the United States
treasury.
Hurley advocates government con-
troll of those organizations which
operate to amass wealth for the
privileged few to the economic de-
triment of the many. He says We
have had plenty of legislation ben
eficial to Big Business; We should
now have legislation for the pro-
lection of the farmer and the work.
ing classes
He also believes that eX-SerVice
men should be paid the bonus due
them, thereby putting money into
circulation at a time when it is
most needed, ana thus helping to
provide the people with purchasing
power which will be a step toward
the stimulation of business and the
restoration of confidence and pros
perity. He is opposed to the can
collation. Of war debts.
He is favorable to legislation
which will insure bank depositors
against loss of their money mas
much as such protection would
bring out much of the boarded
money and put it into circulation.
He contends that if municipal funds
are protected by guarantee against
loss, this same protection should
be extended to the individual de-
positor.
Hurley solicits the support of the
voters in this congressional district
on the strength Of his record as a
citizen CT San Diego county for %
years, the past 10 years of which
he has served as a member of the
county board Of supervisors and at
present is chairman of that body.
His candidacy is not sponsored
by any corporate or individual in
terests and he is obligated to no
privileged interests.
