Representatives from a firm which advertises largely by nailing signs on trees along the public highways were informed by officials of the State Highway Department in Jefferson City this week that all road overseers and county highway engineers in Missouri will be required to enforce the law which prohibits the nailing or fastening of advertising signs to fruit, shade or ornamental trees growing along the roadside. Although this law, has been in ef- fect for some months, there is no noticeable. decrease in the number of signs attached to trees along the public roads. The law provides that it shall be the duty of the county highway engineer to see that this provision is enforced, and the State Highway Department takes this means of notifying county highway engineers that a full and complete compliance with this law will be ex- pected. Local merchants who try to boost their business by nailing signs on trees along the roads leading into town will find.the columns of this paper to’ be a more profitable medium. The removing of the signs will do much to protect the trees and add to the beauty of our public high- ways. : Butter Board May Close.
