Say Theatre Sign Erected Illegally Committee Hears It Is a Direct Violation Charges that the large electric sign in front of the new Parkhill Theatre on South Broadway, erected at a cost said to be about $4,500, was placed there in violation of the local sign and billboard ordinance were made last night by members of a group of local sign men who were present at a meeting held for the purpose of taking under advisement the revising of the sign and billboard ordinance. As a result of the charges, offclals are making an investigation and if the charges are sustained, the removal of the sign will be ordered. It was alleged that the sign was erected before any permit had been issued and that the application for the permit was not made until the sign had been put into place. Mayor William A. Walsh directed Building Superintendent James W.

Armstrong to take such action as may be required and charged him with the duty of enforcing the law The charges came out in a discussion of the regulation which provides that signs shall not be erected to a height of more than two feet above 8 building. The sign men asked a new ordinance which changed the height provision to 20 feet. Louls Adler explaining that this was offered in order that the theatre sign, which was erected 1 by a New York concern, might conform with the law. Mr. Adler said that the sign projects about 20 feet above the roof of the theatre building.

Declaring that it anything was to be changed it was the sign and not the ordinance, Mayor Walsh went thoroughly into the subject, questoning the Building Department head. Mr. Armstrong said that the sign was in place before ho received the application for the permit, When it was received, ho said, he found that it contained nothing to show him the size of the sign but the required bond was filed and he issued the permit. Mr. Armstrong added that Edwin J.

Goodhart had called him on the telephone once and Acting Captain Ford also had called him. The Third Precinct police had stopped work on the sign and Captain Ford asked him what should be done. Mr. Armstrong said he told Captain Ford that he would not interfere in any police action. Mr.

Adler said that he had seen three policemen watching the sign being erected but they had not taken any action. The delegation of sign men expressed approval of the appointment of a sign Inspector, suggested originally by Alderman Edward J. Murray, who with Alderman Francig J. Heafy represented the Aldermanic Committee in charge of the study of the ordinance. Additional revenue of $10,000 a year would be received by tho city in feeg if such an Inspector was named, it was sald.

The Mayor said he would give the matter serious consideration and the name of Charles Conley was suggested ag a possible appointes, The sign men also objected to the provisions in the present ordinance which force the filing of bonds, even though: lionility insurance is carried and the requiring of the consent of owners of property within 300 feet of the location before sign can be erceted.
