The changes upon vv: hich there was more or less discussion are ES follows : 1 . Real Estate Signs . . Nailing of signs on trees 3 . Classification of private and public schools . 4 . The approval of layouts to include the layout of lots by the Board of Survey . 5 . Non- conforming uses . 6 . Statu = of lots narrower than 75 foot frontage duly recorded by plan or deed at the time by- law is adopted . 7 . Bopird of Appeal . 8 . Restrictions as to rear yards and per centum of building thereon . 9 . Area and frontage of lots . The recommendations of your committee ere as follows ; L . REAL ESTATE S IGTNJ . The principal objection in regard to real estate signs ev ,. s to the prohibition of large sign: on subdivisions . it is recom- mended that large signs be permitted on subdivisions , subject to the approval of the Board of hppeals . F . NAILING OF SIGN: ON TREES . Your committee thought that this provision was not neces7ary , and therefore , did not include it in the proposed by - law .
