Clean-Up Day for State.

The state of Rhode Island appointed a c|ean-up day and a considerable improvement resulted. One of the special features was the removal of many advertising signs along highways, from fences, frees, poles or other conspicuous points. In several counties loads of waste lumber, consisting of what had formerly been large signs, were distributed as fuel among the poor. A special statute gives any person the right to tear down and destroy all signs of an advertising nature along a public highway in the state of Rhode Island.
