REJECTS ALL BIDS FOR ARMY MEATS Prices Offered Were Too Low, So the 143,000,000 Pounds Will Be Disposed Of Privately. WASHINGTON, June 2@7.—With the approval of Gecrettary Baker, Di- rector of Sales Hare has rejected all the eighty-six bids recently opened for the purchase of approximately 143,000,000 pounds of surplus canned and cured meats held by the army. Considering the prices offered too low, Mr. Hare now will endeavor to dispose of these surplus stocks through negotiations, as much better prices are secured by thie means than by sealed bids.

The campaign will seek to secure apes | enactment of legislation that will bar unsightly boards from all but the business sections of municipalities throughout the Nation. The decision followed the address of Everett L. Millard, President of the Municipal Art League of Chicago, who declared that the advertising billboard now is recognized generally as one of the Worst nuisances im the home life of cities. “I do not wish to argue bef that the billboard is a nulsance, . cause you already know it,” declared Mr. Millard “No one any longor sneers at the profit to a community jn the beautification of its physical appearance, In practically >»very large city the bilfboard’s unsightly lines affect real estate values, and detract heavily from the value of municipal investments in parks and boulevards. “Fortunately we now have the authority of the courts behind us, on & perfectly sound legal basis, for regulating and prohibiting those eye- sores under the public power where the objections are such that they raay be demonstrated in court Waeh- ington has prohibited boards, on the | theory that they constitute a public nuisance. “A St. Louis restrictive ordinance, which goes far in the curtailing of the nuisance, has been upheld by the courts, Chicago has @ law, held valid, whioh prohibits signs on roofs, without majority consent, and an- other which bare them from resi- dential districts.
