December 22, 195211 N.J. 144

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the trial court, holding that the 1942 Billboard Act does not eliminate municipal zoning authority over billboards, that the borough's ordinance does not violate free‑speech protections, and that the ordinance's provision requiring removal of nonconforming signs within two years is invalid as it conflicts with state zoning law.
