Debate Over Highway Sign Ban Draws Protestants
Many remonstrants appeared before the Highway Commission to protest any change in the law prohibiting signs on public ways. A. B. Shattuck cited photos of disfigured signs and urged retention of the 12 year old rule. Others, including Cornelius A. Parker and Joseph Lee, argued for considering scenery and private enforcement. Legal opinions favored keeping the law, while city permits show signs cannot be posted without special approval.
