The conference. consists.of dele- glites from the District of Columbia Fpdération of Citizens Associations, and Civic Federations of Montgomery nty, Md., and Arlington County, Va, iThe report, mnflun. of several type- out the efforts fi_‘mnde z.hroulhwt the country to eliminate signboards, was drafted by G.

Hyattaville Body Opens Fight un Unat- tractive Signboards. Speclai Dispatch to The Star, HYATTSVILLE, Md., December 16— An energetic effort looking to theselim- ination of objectionable billboards ad-| nt to public highways was launched night at the December meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of tts- ville held in the Munlclpll Bufl A motion was adopted . that . “it erce of Hyattsville that objectionable bill- boards adjacent to public hllhwlyn of that State Senator Lansdale G. md the memben of the House of Dele- tes from ice Georges County be uked to exert themselves to the utmost to gain this end and that the Legis- lative commime of the chamber be directed follow~ the, matter in the Le:umnrg, convenes next month. - Commitiee Urged Action. Adoption of the motion followed a report by Daniel Cox chairman of the chamber’s Commitiee on Parks and Playgrounds, that it was the consensus of the committee that the chamber should lend its hearty sup- port to the civic clmp‘!:n now being | waged to bring about the regulation and eventual removal of objectionable signboards along. the public highways leading into the National Capital. The campaign is in line with the efforts being made by Federal luthormes to epare the Capital for the r!n guhln"on Blcetennial Celebration 1932. Irvin Owings, chairman. of the Mary- land National Capital Park and Plan: ning Commission, explained” that ob. jectionable signboards now are banned | in the metropolitan area of Washing- ton, in which the commission functions, except in sections zoned industrial, and then they may be erected only by a special ordinance of the county com- missioners. He believed this regulation would stand the test of the courts. Mr. Owings said that his attention had been called to the fact that in some States trees were being planted along the pub- lic highways, with a view ultimately to making billboards impossible to see from the road. Other members spoke of efforts being made in other sections of the country to get rid of the boards. Charles W. Clagett, attorney, of Hyatts- ville expressed the belief that a State law imposing & heavy tax.on objec- | tionable billboards doubtless would | prove effective. Such a law, however, should exempt, he thought, signs adver- | tising property for sale and signs on a person’s dvmp:rty advertising his busi- nun conducted on the premises, so long as signs were not so constructed as 'o be dangerous. ‘That the chamber is ltm on neord as favoring the building of Stal Road commlmo of the chamber m ) pear - before- the commissioners proper time in an effort to ll'l mm recommend for construction by the State Roads cunmhlhn next season t.hu thoroughfare as a gas tax llllfil ‘The chamber indorsed the &m IAII Winter.
