Dear Sir:
We have for reply your valued favor of December 29th in which you inquire if we have found our law sufficient for handling the problem of roadside and billboard advertising.
This, you will appreciate, is largely a matter of view point. Our lav/ was the first State lav/ deal-/ ing with this subject and was naturally more or less of an experiment. While it is possible that it has not satisfied all of the persons at interest, it has served to materially reduce advertising signs of the cheaper class. Such, signs and bulletin boards as are now being erected are far less objectionable than some which we"formerly dealt with. Incidentally the license fees amount to about Twelve thousand dollars a year.
We have had for a number of years legislation prohibiting advertising within the limits of the highway with certain minor exceptions. Our very efficient road patrol take pains to keep this lav/ enforced and we annually harvest about two good crops of road signs.
If you have at hand any suggestion or copies of model law to meet this situation as you see it, v/e would be pleased to receive same.
