THE WISCONSIN ACT.

THE WISCONSIN ACT.
The legislature of Wisconsin in 1918
fehapter z43) passed an act autlloriz-
Ing cities OF 5000 or more to set
aside exclusive residential districts.
dhe act thus Affects the cities Of Mil
waukee, Green Bay, La Crosse, Madf-

MINNESOTA, ILLINOIS AND NEW

At about the same time that the
state Of Wisconsin was acting, the
state of Minnesota was taking SINH
lar ACTION The legislature of that
state in 1913 passed an act fStatutes
1913, Chapter 420) empowering cities
with a population in excess Of $4,000
70 establish exclusive residential and
industrial districts. This law there
tore applies to the cities Of Minneapo-
dis. st. Paul and Duluth Acting under
authority Of this law the City Council
Of Minneapolis on February %, 1918,
passed an ordinance establishing GER
tain residential districts.
The state 81. Illinois in the same
year also passed an act empowering
Cities TO establish residential districts

industrial districts are grouped in one
part of the city. The .residence ex-
ceptions are small. With the exceD.
ton Of one which IS about half-nlile
II area, none Of them covers 4 greater
area than two city blocks, and IN many
cases each does not occupy more than
one Or two lots.
The line that IS drawn between the
industrial district and the residential
district in the Los Angeles scheme is
that al kinds Of business and manu-
featuring are permitted without re.

trict and forbid there any use other
than for purposes Of residence2
In the California law We find that
only those Industries are excluded that
are enumerated, and presumably only
those are enumerated which the au-
tkors of the law believe can be shown
clearly to be Objectionable from the
point of view of public health, safety,
morals or welfare. In thes Minneapo-
lis ordinance and in the Milwaukee or
1inance the same principle is followed
and specific industries are enumerated.
II has become an axiom, however, in
legislative experience that specific en-
un1eratious are extremely dangerous.
for the very simple reason that the en-
Umerasor is apt to forget MANY points
which should be enumerated and may
possibly include in the enumeration
things which are subject to attack.
In the New York Second Glass Cities
Law everything but private dwellings
and twofamily dwellings and private
garages or stables at the rear of the
lot is excluded In this act no attempt
is made to enumerate objectionable In
dustries or Objectionable uses OF prop
erty in residential districts, but all
Uses other than for purposes of resi-
dence are by the act itself excluded.
THE PROPERTY OWNERS RIGHT
TO EE HEARD.
A further consideration of great inn
portance is, how far the residents and
property owners of the district affect-
ed by the restriction shall determine
whether such restriction shall apply.
Here there are two elements of
danger:
IL the law permits the decision to
rest solely with a majority of the prop
erty owners affected, there is likeii
hood of its being set aside by the
courts on the ground that one group of
property owners cannot deprive an
other group Of property owners of the
right to use their property in such way
as they may wish.
On the other hand. we must be on
cur guard n9t to place the determine
ton, of this question solely in the local
Legislative body or permit it to act
without giving the property owners
whose interests are affected an oppor-
Iunity TO express their views and have
some voice in the determination Of the
question at issue.
1T is apparent, therefore, that both of
these elements must be considered.
The restriction to be valid must either
originate with or have the affirmative
approval Of 4 substantial majority pf
the parties IN interest whose property
i alfetted a must 1'so have tie ar

BIC GUNS BOOM
IN ANNUAL TEST
Batteries Constituting Coast De-
fences Of Oahu Make Good
Showing in Target Work.

z
The annual service firing Of seacoast
guns on Oahu began about seven
clock yesterday morning with the fir.
ing Of three trial shots from the six
inch battery manned by the Fifty fifth
company Of Coast Artillery at Fort De
An hpnr later the lO5th and 15sth
companies went into action with the
twelve-inch mortars Of Battery Harlow
az Fort Kruger, and Diamond Head
shook under the concussion rs six trial
shots were fired from the big guns.
Following the trial shots the mortar
battery at Fort Ringer fred twelve
shots for record, considerable portion
OF the forenoon being required on ae.
count OF the time needed to compute
the fall Of the projectiles at sea. This
hiring was conducted at a moving pyra
midal target, shots falling within
prescribed radius being counted as hits
upon an outlined ship, This firing was
conducted at range Of 1900 yards,
almost the extreme range Of these
guns The shots fell within small ra.
dius, the gun laying being uniformly
good The actual number Of hits or
misses was not announced. u
Ing 1OIUDdnY III OTI he
Russy fred eight shots for record at
the long range Of 1000 yards. As in
the case of the mortar firing, the pro.
jectiles were placed uniformly and the
firing was satisfactory to Col. w. @.
Rafferty, and the other artillery officers
in charge Of the firing. This practise
was also conducted at outlined targets
with a moving pryamidal object for
aiming point.
ALI of the firing yesterday morning
was conducted at longer ranges than
are used when the best results are ex-
pected from the guns, and although
the number of hits may not come up
to the records established by these bat
teries the officers are satisfied with the
experiment, according to Lieut.. Col.
w. Il. Ellis.
Today will be the second Of the ten.
day period Of service artillery firing,
and tonight the whole coast from Dia,
mond Head TO Pearl Harbor will ring
with the echoes Of the rifle and mortar
batteries. Fort Ruger at Diamond
Head, Forts De Russy and Armstrong
in Honolulu and Kamehameha at the
naval station will have their search
lights playing out to sea for about two
hours, beginning about eight o'clock.
All vessels have been warned to stay
at least six miles off shore while the
searchlights are working in order to
be outside the danger zone. The twelve
inch rifles at Kamehameha will carry
twice the six-mile limit prescribed, but
it is presumed from the notice that no
firing will be held at greater range.
The six-inch battery at Fort Arm
strong was scheduled to fire yesterday
with explosive shell, but owing to the
dredge and some fishing boats being in.

be postponed. INA IN
The practise tonight will be very
