His company, he continued, is interested in maintaining the goodwill of the niunicipalities where E. L. Ruddy signs have been erected. For this reason, bis company bas drafted a by- law to protect both the munici- cipality and the sign company. The only mention of bill- boards in the present by-laws is in the Zoning By-law which prohibits any sign larger than four square feet in residential or commercial zones. Howevcr, larger signs may be erectcd in Iight industry zones. At the moment E. L. Ruddy have eight poster boards in Bowmanville and are interested in Pxpanding. Two of these signls will be offcrcd froc of charge ta advertise Bowmanvillo or some local charity, the repre- sentative stated.
