Mr. Lane and his family have been occupying the Salem Darsonage for the past few years. community is helpless against this. Municipal beauty is a real municipal asset, neighborhood beauty is a neighborhood asset. It comes baci: in dollars and cents in both instances. We call in experts for other kinds of work but anybody is good enoush to tell how a city ought to look. The worst sinner against the beauty of a city is the one who puts up a build- ing without grace. Money and beauty are not the same thing. It is the effort to be pretentious that spoils its all. Our iovely New England towns give a back- ground of quiet dignity that is wonder- ful ¥f it could be let alone but incongruity in building is the bane of the small town and of all the incongruous things the worst s the billboard that fil's up a Spot in the landscape with advice as to what we shall eat, wear, smoke and chew. Mr. Bard advanced the proposition that the (people who perpetuate these offens- es to good taste are treading on our toes. for there is a common patrtmony, a neighbcrhood patrimony. evén in private property. The courts, tnwcver, have not’! in the past Lacked up this public-spiri ed point of view, but there is a changing sentiment along this line that, is rapidly crystallizing and the beginnings are creqping in. He spoke of roof signs as unsishtly as well as being fire hazards, and said that rural communities have two remedies that they ean apply against the bill board ‘in the application of taxation and the boycott of the advertised ar- ticle. We should think, sald Mr. Bard. in closing, that New England towns of all places, ought to show community spirit. Why not have a renaissance of that old snirit that once certainly used to diwell in our New Ensland towns? Such always comes through the work of one person or at most a small growp. Why not our town? Mr. Bard is an ex-president and a di- rector of the Municipal Art soclety of New York and has been for some yvears treasurer of the Fine Arts Federations. a group of sixteen art societies in New York.
