May I ask you to bring enough to allow me to place advertising boards on the Shanghai Tramway Company, Limited, posts it being understood that I get their sanction before making my final application. The sign boards on the double lines will be attached to cables and will be made out of the aluminium sheets of 2,5 feet by 7 feet properly attached to the cables with strong iron or brads bolts.
The sign boards on the single lines will be attached to the croos bars attached to the posts and will be made of sheet iron of 2,5 feet by 7 feet properly attached to the cross bars with iron or brass bolts.
Thanking you in anticipation for you kind consideration and trusting to receive your early reply, I beg to remain,
Commissioner of Public Works to Edward Poways - c/o Zuiho Trading Co. - " Advertising Boards on Tramway Standards" Shanghai, October 25, 1928. Source: SMA (SMC), U1-14-3387 (2649).
With reference to your letter of the 23rd inst. Requesting permission to place advertising boards over the Municipal road, attached to the Tramway standards, I greatly regret that I am unable to recommend your application to the Council for approval.
