It is a Class 2 misdemeanor for any person to erect or construct along the streets or highways adjoining any cemetery, or within three hundred feet of any cemetery, any billboard, advertising sign, or unsightly object without first obtaining the written consent of the proper officers of the municipality, or township, and of the proper officers or persons having charge and control of such cemetery. However, the street or highway may be marked to designate an automobile route, or for other public purposes, if done in a neat and attractive manner.
