It was claim- ed too that those who post bills seldom if ever took the trouble to remove them and that they were unsightly. The only ex- ception will be signs erected by police officers. The action was taken on motion of councillor Harold Jones and councillor Floyd Perkins. Councillor Middleton suggested a ban on sound trucks advertis- ing.
