WASHINGTON ROAD BETTERMENT WILL COST 56,000 IMaryland to Spend Sum on | Beautification of Balti- more Highway. | By a Staff Correspondent of The Star, HYATTSVILLE, Md., February 25.— Desiring to make the Baltimore Boule- | vard as attractive as possible during Bi- cen.ennial year, the State Road Com- mission will spend approximately $6,000 derived from the new billboard law, in | roadside beautification along that high- | way, officials said today. | The work has already started with the clearing away of underbrush and rubbish along a stretch near Muirkirk This will be followed by the planting of several hundred trees at various places along the boulevard and the use | of sod to cover some barren and un- sightly hillsides along the right of way 20,000 Signs Removed. At the time the law was put Into .effect the roadsides of the State were combed by State Roads Commission crews and 20,000 small, unsightly and illegal signs removed. Except for signs advertising merchandise sold on the premises, all other signs on the high- ways outside incorporated towns were | required to obtain licenses and pay & fee. The total revenue derived from these | fees amounted to about $9,000, and after expenses were deducted, about ‘16.000 was left for roadside beautifica- tion In accordance with the terms of || the 1aw. In future years the sum available for roadside beautification will be allo- cated among the various sections of the State, but this year it was deemed ap- propriate to spend it all on the Balt! more Boulevard. It is expected that there will be a larger sum available for | this work in the years to come, as expensive clean-up drives and the | tabulation of all licensed signs will not | be necessary. From now on the roads commission will merely have to keep present records up to date. Minimum of Friction. Advertisers have shown a spirit of co-operation in the elimination of D. C..
