On June 5 a field day will be held in the Alexandria here, when detailed reports will be made and further activities will be canvassed and laid out as to possibilities. The end is not yet. by any means, say those in charge. Concurrent with this campaign the chamber has had drawn up a tentative form of ordinance to submit to county supervisorial boards for their adoption. This defines signs1, billboards, snipes, in unmistakable terms; requires licenses for posting; fees of 50 cents apiece for boards and 25 cents apiece for snipes' a prohibitive cost demands written permission from owners before any posting; specifies that every sign must carry license number and firm name of advertiser in large letters, and forbids any postings on highway property.

None may be put up within 300 feet of a road or rail crossing or on the inside of curves to obstruct clear vision. A fine of $300 or ninety days in jail, or both, is the suggested penalty, and every sign every day it is up illegally is a separate offense. Teeth? In plenty! And if a sign does not comply in every respect, it is prima facie evidence Of its illegality and it may be destroyed without further question. This tentative bill has been submitted within the last few days to county boards of supervisors throughout the State, accompanied by explanatory letters to them, to district attorneys and to members of the State chamber, asking immediate While too early yet to announce or even forecast results-, the response so far is declared to have been most favorable. Special attention has been given to placing it before the board in this county, the leading one of the State and the most afflicted.

It is conceded that the entire Southland will follow its course of action. aSn Diego county already has it under discussion, SCENIC RESERVOIRS The other step forward sought is to declare official srenlc districts wherein the property owners will be asked to refuse any sign or sniping permits. These regions are selected for their beauty, charm or natural wonders, which It is sought thus to protect. One such district in a near-by county signed up 85 per cent on the mere request; others are falling in line rapidly. Once a district has taken action the State highway force may enter upon private property with impunity and destroy all offending material.

Tills, too, is a very recent step but one which already is bearing good fruit and meeting high favor. As in nearly all cases smaller signs especially of the snipe sort, the worst offenders are placed in defiance of owners' wishes, without remuneration to them, the backing of property owners Is not difficult to obtain, once they are advised of conditions. Sign boards for. large bill postings or painted announcements usually rent space and will thus be harder to control, but plans for their limitation to a minimum are working out. Thnt the clean-up Is proving popular and that some past users ot this means of publicity have already seen the light Is evidenced by the fact that some time back the Standard OH Company removed Its signs from the highways throughout the State, voluntarily: and the Southern Pacific Railway has only recently announced the same step.

The worst offenders, It Is asserted, are eastern purveyors of much advertised poods and articles, who send out hard-boiled crews to tack or post tin, cloth or paper placards anywherf they can find a vacant spot on fences, trees, bulldlnas or even rocks and mountains. These the proiwsed county ordinance. It is believed, will effectually curb, the fee being praetlcally prohibitive. So there springs bright hope that before many moons California's landscapes may be viewed by visitor and resident alike as nature made them, and not merely glimpsed If that between serried ranks of blatant billboards, or splotched with snipes and signs. Now well.

If a tourist can snatch a sight even of our famed blue sky without an obtrusive admonition to "Purrhase Punk Pills" or "Look to Your Liver," he's fortunate. Other Slates less favored have done much In an ellmlnative way; California at last seems to have awakened, to Its own possibilities and to be do-fntr a lot mor then Just yawning about V.
