Mr. C. P Agar said that an effort should be made to abolish all hoardings in the city. In the course of further discussion the opinion was expressed by Mr. E. J. Howard, M.P., that the council should take over the hoardings for its own publicity purposes. If anybody was to make money from them, he said, it should be the council. Mr. H. T. Armstrong, M.P., agreed that if hoardings were required for advertising purposes then the council should control them and take the profit'?.
