Virginia Women to press Billboard Bill in Senate
Virginia Garden Club women mobilize to back Senate Bill No. 165 aimed at curbing roadside advertising. The measure would restrict signs near curves or intersections, require landowner permits, impose fines, and allow removal of unpermitted signs by state highway and conservation officials. Opponent Wilson W. Vellines argues the bill is unnecessary and taxes legitimate outdoor advertising.
