than legislation, Harry E. Burnam, city
attorney, believes the best way to cope
with the bill board evil is to tax either the
boards or the land upon which they are
erected. Vacant land Is not taxed any
where near as high as lots on which build
ings are erected, he says. Mr. Burnam
holds that If a bill board Is erected on a
lot, that lot- Is occupied and should be
taxed accordingly. This method of pro
cedure has been adopted by a number of
eastern cities, the city attorney says.
