"venue, Lexington, by permitting the maintenance of an existing sign. Mr. Glynn asked Mr. smith if there was a temporary small sign leaning against the large sign. Mr. Smith stated that he did have a small sign which occasionally was left leaning against the. large sign, but it was an oversight if it had been there for any length of time.
