According to the announcement by Lord Bledisloe. there is every likelihood that many of <th e advertising hoardings disfiguring the . countryside wi.!.'shortly■'disappear. Speaking at the..-(Wellington Horticultural Society's spring: -show to-day'’he' remarked on the aesthetic improvements in and around the city in the way of gardens. His Excellency said it gave, him pleasure to announce that, after negotiations extending over the past eighi teen months, he was " u 'e to say that disfigurements by motor spirit hoardings would probably soon disappear through the public-spirited attitude of the Shell Company. That Compaiiy had given him an undertaking that their advertising boards in all of the country districts wOuld soon b e removed. The otlly exception would b e at the entrance to towns, informing motorists where .requirements were obtainable. Biiice that uhdertaking had been given, His Excellency had ’been in. communication with three other firms. He had reason to believe that they would fol- ’ low the same example, except in regard to the advertisements on the railways, for which.-contracts existed.
