“OFFENSE TO THE EYE.”
j HOARDI NC IN THE SQUARE, REMOVAL URGED. Severe condemnation of the large hoarding erected on the tramway shelter in Cathedral' Square, has l>een cx- ! pressed by several citizens. The hoardi ing aims at advertising the Industrial • Exhibition tn be held in Christchurch in November and it bears various insoriptons, ;ili carried out in glaring | colours. j ‘’ A lot of us refrain from criticising ; the tramway shelter itself, because i? serves a great public need, but this : blatant hoarding is a greater offence | to the eye than even the drab walls ‘ of the tram shelter." said one man. | “The people who put it up and the j people who allowed them to put it up ' should be called to account. It is a disfigurement to the city and it ought to be removed at once.” "1 think it a pity the Industrial Association did not find some other equally effective and less objectionable method of advertising.’ - said Dr Chilton, chairman of the Beautifying Society. “ The hoarding is unsightly." The hoarding is a three-sided affair, j standing boldly above the shelter so ! that it can be seen by almost anyone ! in the Square. ! Permission to erect the hoarding was i granted bv the Bv-laws Committee of the City Council as well as bv the ! Tramway Board.
