Shumaker, general manager of the local branch of i the General Outdoor Advertising Co., had agreed to make a survey of the county for the purpose of having signs removed which might be objectionable to the citizens. ‘When questioned, however, Shumaker stated he had not been told of the clean-up campaign and he had no in- | tention of obligating himself for the removal of signs until he had been offi- cially notified of the campaign and | given an opportunity to look into the matter. Shumaker said Yeatman asked him to make a survey of the county with him and he agreed. “Our signs are placed in Arlington County under the ‘provmons of an ordinance that re- quifres the permission of the Board of County Supervisors, before locating them.
