Because of this threat of destruction by the government, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of new construction by private companies is being held up. At the same time other hundreds of millions in public funds are being spent on projects of doubtful value, constituting a drain up- on the nation’s resources, .

The design of these posters is described as “striking and even gruesome,” tending to divert the attention of drivers and cause the very accidents which they are intend- ed to prevent. A protest against their use has been made by the National Council for the Pro- | tection of Roadside Beauty, which says: “The menace of the roadside billboard through distraction of attention, as well as through obstruction of vision, is no mere clubwomen’s notion, but may be a_ con- tributing cause to accidents. _ Commenting: on the same matter, the New York Sun says: “There are less ob- jectionable ways of presenting a_ striking safety message to motorists. New Jersey’s sanction of’ distracting roadside signs will The need for safety education is urgent and should be promoted in every community through a sane and unemo- tional appeal to the common sense of those who operate motor vehicles. It can not be promoted through a sensational and ob- structive billboard at the very spot where the accident is already due to happen.
