Got- | wals’ department. He declared he be- lieved public hearings would be unnec- essary and, from his viewpoint, unsat- isfactory. “The Commissioners have never failed to receive complaints,” he pointed out, “and matters can easily be taken up without the necessity of holding public hearings.” 5 Last January the Commissioners held a public hearing to consider a proposed biil to regulate outdoor ertising sfgns. At that time the Outdoor Ad- vertisers' Assoeiation of the Distriet of Columbia and Maryland, the Merchants ‘»nd Manufacturers’ Association, the Washington Chamber of Commerce, the | Action ~ Advertising Corporation, the American Institute of Architects, the }Slgn Painters’ Union and other organi- | zations were represented. As a result of this public hearing and several eon- ferences thereafter, the bill was intro- duced in Congress. The Senate District Committee held a public hearing on the bill, at which no one voiced objec- tion. The bill then passed the Senate, without amendment, on April 17, 1930, Since being referred to the House District Committee, _however, the amendments about whieh objections are now raised have been proposed. Officers of the American Civic Associa- tion have taken a firm stand on the Question involving the right of public hearings before any regulations are adopted under the regulatory powers whieh the bill bestows upon the Com- missioners. While believing the Comi< missioners would never seek.to deny a public hearing, if requested, they simply ask that this privilege be stated in the law. | With only these two points of differ- | ence, it appears likely that all interested | partiés would find some common ground. | Aside from ' these objections, the bill meets with the full approval, it was said, of all concerned in restricting the use of outdoor signs in the Oity of Washington. Whether such, legislation can be put through the House durl the present short session appea doubtful to some, although its chances are said to be more favorable in view g u:: action already taken by the nate.
