rules contained in the ordinance
pertain to three general categories of

Mrs. Denton began her volunteer
work as she and her husband moved
from place to place. She was an
active volunteer with the Shriner’s
Crippled Children’s Hospital in Los
Angeless while she resided there.
After moving to Dallas she became
active in various volunteer programs
through her church. Following the
death of Mr. Denton in early 1961,
she decided to become an active
volunteer once again. Kingsland
Library presented the opportunity
for service to the community. Mrs.
Denton began her “labor of love”
and remains a dedicated volunteer to
the present time.

place. If the owner decides to leave it
in place, the city has no choice but to
file the complaint. The municipal
judge will then have to decide if the
act falls within the intent of the
ordinance.
Signs placed on business properties
are limited to signs relating to
businesses or activities located with
the corporate limits of the city. City
policy has been to enforce these
provisions without exception, there-
by eliminating a deluge of political
signs and posters. This does not
prevent a business owner from
making a statement by placing
posters inside the business or in
windows facing the street.
No political signs or posters are
allowed on public property. This
decision was considered necessary to
stop the habit of fastening posters to
utility poles and blanketing areas
with repetitious and frequently un-
attractive sign campaigns.
As with most ordinances, this one
was passed because of abuses by a
Following graduation, she taught
homemaking in high school. Mar-
ried to John Wesley Denton of Waco,
in 1942, she continued to teach on a
full-time basis for three more years.
After that she filled in as s substitute
teacher where and when she was
needed.
Mr. Denton was with the Depart-
ment of Justice, U.S. Immigration
and Naturalization Service for 35
yeras. For a number of those years,
he was a supervisor in the depart-
ment. During that time in their lives
the couple resided in Fort Lauder-
dale, Florida; Eagle Pass, Texas; Los
Angeles, California and Dallas,
Texas. They moved to Kingsland in

the right-of-way were not main-
tained, interfered wtih normal main-
tenance, and were frequently left in
place long after elections were
completed. The first sign ordinance
was passed in 1960 and has been
amended once (1987) to allow the
controlled display of open house
signs. It is unlikely any citizen will be
hurt by the active sign ordinance, as

Over 90 percent of our city is zoned
residential. The only signs permitted
are those which advertise real estate
as being for sale or rent. Over the
years the city has developed a policy
to overlook unobtrusive campaign
posters displayed on private resi-
dential property. The policy will
continue as long as property owners
limit the displays and remove the
signs immediately after the national
election.
However, because the
display of political signs is not
permitted by the ordinance, those
individuals displaying signs should
know the rules. Any citizen finding a
sign or poster objectionable has the
right to come to city hall and sign a
complaint. If a complaint is recor-
ded, the proprty owner will be
notified of the complaint. The owner
will then have two options — remove
