Highway Signs Arouse Debate Measure Would Prohibit Certain Types of Road Billboards Rep. William H. Hedlund's bill prohibiting the placing of certain types of signs on or adjacent to highways was the subject of a hearing before the house high ways and highway revenues com mittee -Tuesday afternoon. One of the principal arguments In support of the bill was that these signs had caused many ser ious automobile accidents. It also was alleged that the scenic beauty of the highways had been destroy ed at certain points. Opponents of the measure de nied that roadside signs have re sulted in a large number of mo tor vehicle crashes. This conten tion wa.a hased on reDorts of Tar ious investigating agencies show ing the most common causes of accidents. Signs advertising a place of business and existing within the city limits are exempted from the proposed law. A number of women before the committee stressed beautification of the highways by the elimina tions of signs and other alleged obstructions. - . Two or three speakers charged that the approval of the Hedlund bill would interfere with the op eration of outdoor sign .manufac turers and throw a number of men out of employment. mmimt nMi su et fCia IIODEII EAISC FAI tJtTMM Ktkft MittO ALtmiMtim The ideal pea for convenience; economy. - Sani-Tlte bandlc Straight sides.
