SPOILING THE LANDSCAPE
"Up to -this time, it seems,.,, local •authorities have been very slow'to enforce their own bvjjawjs against unsightly hoardings *&nd similar abominations because they have feared that, although they had received the official approval of the Home Office, their regulations might be upset on appeal. A group of justices in Somerset, happily, were more and when a bill-posting company j/ns haled before them charged with dis-. figuring a landscape with no fewer, than six advertisements tfhey projs€ly convicted them. Naturally the company has appealed. The High Court confirmed the conviction. By this means adequate promotion has at last oeen secured for tW best scenery in', our town and country, and we can confidently hope now that local author!*ties everywhere Will fumble about no longer, but will use with vigour the powers entrusted to them to extinguish all kinds of eye-sores."—York-shire Post.
