ton is in the throes of a protest against 
a beer sign on the Hotel Pelham, front- 
ing the Boston Common, for which the 
erecting concerns pays the owner of the 
premises $3,000 per year, notwithstand- 
ing which the said owner has succeed- 
ed in having the assessment on his 
building for tax purposes reduced $1,900 
within the year. The situation in Bos- 
ton is made rather amusing by the fact 
that Donnelley, the boss billboarder, 
bias been disciplined by the National 
Billposters’ Association for erecting this 
■sign aaginst the desires of the National 
Association. The Legislatures of the 
States of Pennsylvania. New Jersey. 
New York and Massachusetts have each 
billboard restricting and taxing acts 
before them now, with the billboard 
men fighting any taxation, regulaticn, 
or supervision.” 
Dangerous Boards in Haverhill, Mass. 
It is reported that the billboards in 
"the citv of Haverhill, Mass., are in 
such a condition since a recent wind 
storm that in all likelihood a billboard 
•ordinance will be passed by the city 
•council, such a measure being the basis 
■of a special report by Inspector Mitchell 
of the buildings department. The in- 
spector will report the advisability of 
.an ordinance prohibiting the mainte- 
nance of billboards on top of buildings. 
A move in this direction was taken last 
year when some of the structures were 
■condemned and ordered removed but 
no ordinance governs the matter. 
The wind storm caused nearly every 
board in the city to become insecure 
.and on account of the public danger or- 
ders have been issued for their re- 
moval or strengthening in accordance 
with the inspector’s ideas of safety. 
The boards have not yet been secured 
satisfactorily and the ordinance is be- 
lieved to be the only way in which the 
situation can be controlled. Members 
of the city council who have been ap- 
proached on the subject are in accord 
with the inspector in his views and as 
some of the boards are unsightly as 
well as dangerous there is some chance 
of the law being made at the next city 
council meeting.
