The mother was looking at the landscape when suddenly she commented: "There are some of those ugly advertising signs that Mr. Bok says are such a defacement to the landscape.

Indeed Perry Blackwood himself appeared before the Public Utilities Committee of the Board of Aldermen, and was listened to with deference and gravity while he discoursed on the defacement of a beautiful boulevard to satisfy the greed of certain private individuals. Mr. Otto Bitter and myself, who appeared for the petitioners, had a similar reception. That struggle was a tempest in a tea-pot.
