SIR THOMAS EDMONDE (Dublin Co., S.)asked the Secretary of State for War, If he is aware that the Martello 1153 Tower at Brighton View, County Dublin, is covered with advertisement placards, to the great annoyance of those living in the locality; whether he will have the advertisements removed; and, if not, if he will state who put up the placards, and with whose permission; what money, if any, was paid for the permission, and to whom; and, to what purpose the money paid will be applied?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. E. STANHOPE) (Lincolnshire, Horncastle)I understand that the tenant of two Martello Towers in the neighbourhood of Dublin has placed on each one large and one small advertising placards; but I am advised that there is nothing in the terms of the agreement to restrain the tenant from so advertising. As apart from the rent, no money is paid for permission to advertise.
