Sign Men Defiant in Supreme Court Protest Over City Sign Rules
In a New York Supreme Court proceeding before Justice McCall, sign and billboard owners sought a temporary injunction against city prosecutions for ordinance violations. Julian Mayer for C J Gude Advertising argued testing the ordinance’s legality requires a higher court review, citing 22 Municipal Court cases and asserting signs are integral to buildings and safely constructed. Assistant Corporation Counsel John F. O'Brien defended the city's authority, noting prior constitutional validation of sign regulation and new signs going up without permits. The judge deferred final action, planning to await Municipal Court test cases and agreed to a further appeal. The Edison company also faced similar claims over an eighteen foot high sign at East 125th Street. The city vowed to continue prosecutions and file pendens when cases prevail.
