HOARDINGS.
Counsel's Opinion on the above subject was considered by the
Vestry on the 19th September, 1889. Therein Counsel (Mr. Glenn)
advised that the Vestry may for public safety and convenience
limit the height of any licensed hoarding, but have no power to
prohibit advertisements being displayed thereon,and cited decidedcase
in support of his Opinion. By the Advertising Stations (Rating) Act
which passed into law after the Opinion had been submitted, powers
have been given to local authorities either to prohibit the use of
licensed hoardings for advertisement purposes or to sanction the
affixing of advertisements upon payment of such sums as they may
determine, and on the 3rd October, 1889, the Vestry resolved to
prohibit the affixing of the same.
