Many signs om private property
will disappear during the drive. The
procedure to be followed is for the
caretaker to inquire of property own-
ers whether permission has been
granted for the erection of such signs
near the roadway. If not, caretakers
will remove the signs. When per-
mission has been granted and the
signs are not within the legal right-of-
way they cannot be disturbed.
The most noticeable improvement
expected as a result of the campaign
is removal of tattered, weather-beat-
en and neglected signs that have out-
lived the agreement under which they
were originally placed. With co-op-
eration of the property owners these
will be pulled down and the blemish-
es removed.
Cardboard, cloth, tin, steel and
wooden signs, commonly called
“snipe” signs, are the center of the
wholesale campaign to clean up the
roadside. Every variety of unsight-
ly daub and tattered blurb will fall
