Gas Station Sign Too Big City Charges
The city charges a Frederick filling station operator with violating the new ordinance regulating retail petroleum sales by displaying a sign larger than the permitted 8 by 10 inches near the Brubaker premises on South Beniz Street. The case tests the ordinance's constitutionality, with hearings planned in magistrate court and potential appeal to Circuit Court. A separate similar case is pending. Brubaker’s sign allegedly advertised discounted gasoline and the ordinance, passed by the Board of Aldermen, requires uniform sign sizes for licensed dealers.
