Manager of Playhouse Wanted to Display Signs on the Bridge —He Asked Police and Now the Law is On—Dr. Gunn Inquest by Coroner Case. The request of the manager of a local playhouse for permission:to place ad- vertising signs on the Westerly section of the Baweatuck river bridge, & priv- flege that was enjoyed by other mana- gers and which he could have had without the asking, has resulted in & general enforcement of the law in re- gard to that form of advertising. The manager was informed that the signs on the bridge were there without au- thority, when he made request for the permit at a meeting of the town coun- cil, and that the chief of police would order their removal. Now ail adver- tising signs on the bridge have been removed, as has also all curbstone ad- vertising, and merchants are not al- lowed to encroach on the inner side of sidewalks beyond 16 inches from the buildings, for a display of their wares. The ordinance relative to these matters had not been enforced, and probably would have been allowed to continue as in the past, if direct request had not been made for a privilege that the council could not grant legally. In this connection the law approved April 21, 1916, and which will be in effect Sept. 1, will be of interest: “A person who wilfully or maliciously dis- places, removes, injures or destroys a mileboard, milestone, danger sign or signal, or guide sign or post, or any inscription thereon, lawfully within a public highway, or Who in any manner paints, prints, places, puts or affixes, or causes to be painted, printed, placed or affixed. any business or commercial advertisement on or to any stone, tree, fence, stump, pole, building or other object which is the property of another, withcut first obtaining the written con- sent of such owner there, or who in any manner paints, prints, places, puts o raffixes, or causes to be painted, placed or affixed, such an advertise- Tment on or to any stone, tree, fence, stump, pole, mileboard, milestone, dan- ger sign, guidesign, guidepost, bill- board, building or other object within the limits of a public highway, is pun- ishable by a fine of not less than $5, nor more than $25, or by imprisonment for not more than 10 days, or by both scuh fine and imprisonment. Any vertisement in or upon a public high. way or violation of the provisions of this act may be taken down, removed or destroyed by anyone.
