OCTOBER FARM INCOME

from the sale of principal farm pro
ducts and $2,635,000 from the sale
of livestock prolucts.
Gmcleii Gossip
In the October isue of the Road
side Bulletin appeared the following
item concerning zoning in Glynn
County which I am pleased to pass
on this week.
“Many travelers en route to Flor
ida. writhing under the constant as
sault of the signboards from New
England south and particularly
through the state of Georgia, have
been struck by the relief of a clean,
attractive stretch just south of the
city of Brunswick. This is one more
victory for county zoning.
Glynn County, Georgia, adopted!
a zoning ordinance several years ago j
but in a test case the courts de
clared it unconstitutional. In June
1937 the state constitution was
amended, giving the necessary au
thority and Glynn County immed
iately renewed its zoning, with H.
J. Friemdan as Zoning Engineer.
“During the interim advertising
signs had multiplied rapidly along
the main highways and one of the
first concerns of the zoning com
mission was to eliminate these nui
sances. Mrs. G. V. Cate, chairman
of the Zoning Board, working with
county truck and six men, re
moved 1179 signs within the first
six months. Up to date 1749 signs
maintained contrary to the
regulations have been removed.
“The county ordinance provide'
for tlie designation of “scenic areas
in which no permits for advertising
signs will be granted. It
_
that the marsh areas, including ad
jacent highway lands for 100 fee*
beyond the extreme high water mark
shall be classed as scenic areas- It
prohibits advertising signs in agri
cultural or unclassified
within 150 feet of the center of the
road, within the same side of the
road. Permits are required for all
advertising sign. 5 ; on the ground of
filling stations and roadside stands
and ail wall signs. Only three signs
are allowed to each place of busi-
ness, no sign to be over 20 square
feet in area, except that one may
contain 50 square feet if it carries
only the name of the business. In
special cases of industries located
well back from the road, the Plan
ning Board may grant permission
for a sign larger than 50 square feet
if it will not unduly divert the at
tention of the traveler from the
road.
“No signs are permitted In resl
dential districts other than real es
tale si K ns which are limited to eight
square feet in area except that a
special permit may be obtained for
a temporary sign of thirty-two
square feet where a large tract is
for sale. Signs must not involve mo
tion or display intermittent light.
In addition to the protection af
forded by this ordinance on the
Coastal Highway, a government pro
ject widening the right-of-way on
this road south of Brunswick has
materially aided in the final remov
al of signs.”

“We couldn’t have a better exec
