In April, 1901, the city of Berlin ad- 
vertised for bids for the privilege of 
erecting and using these advertising 
columns within the limits of the city 
for the term of ten years, and the suc- 
cessful bidders are paying an annual 
rental to the city of four hundred 
thousand marks ($95,200). 
The city has the right to use the in- , 
terior of the columns for various mu- 
nicipal purposes, such as storing uten- 
sils for street cleaning and sand for 
use in the streets, for switch apparatus 
for public electric lights and meters 
for electric street railways, etc. These 
columns, therefore, are provided with 
doors and locks, and the contractors 
have to keep the interiors properly 
ventilated and free of moisture. Each 
column must also have distinctly 
marked on the upper portion of it the 
number of the city district and of the 
police station, the nearest post and 
telegraph office, the nearest fire alarm 
station, the nearest sanitary station, 
the nearest accident station and the 
nearest relief station.. Delay in any 
condition on the part of the contract- 
ors renders them liable to a fine up to 
one thousand marks (two hundred and 
thirty-eight dollars), and may even 
cancel the lease. 
Besides these, the city of Berlin has 
also leased thirty “Urania” columns 
for advertising purposes for the an- 
nual rent of fifteen thousand six hun- 
dred marks (three thousand seven 
hundred and thirteen dollars). These 
columns are somewhat more elaborate 
than the others, being solidly con- 
structed of iron; the height is the 
same, but the interior is not used by 
the city. They generally contain a 
large clock, various local official no- 
tices and the advertisements slowly 
revolve behind glass windows.
