for him to go to the Waldorf hotel,
where he was the guest at dinner

and publicity campaign for the new
coming ordinance which it hopes to
submit to the council within a

The planners want to go before
every organization in Omaha with
the zoning maps and ordinance, to
get objections that any citizen may
have, before asking the council to
approve the law.
Monday nignu the zone plan was
considered by the Nebraska chapter
of the American Institute of Archi-
tects. Chairman Morton of the
planning commission and Architect
George B. Prinz presented the plan
in detail.

mission members will appear be-
fore the real estate board with the
zone maps and ordinance. A let
ter sent to all realtors today said
with reference to the zone scheme /:
Bring on your kicks"
Mr.. Morton says that in most
cases the DIRECTORS can be made to
see that their objections are not
good.
But, if the plan commission is
wrong" he said, I'VE want to know
it. If the ordinance will work an
injury, we want to change it so it
will not be, injurious, but helpful"
Friday, the planners will go be-
fore the Building Owners and Man
ayers association, The municipal
affairs committee of the Chamber
of -, Commerce is now considering
the ordinance.

We want to present the plan to
all improvement clubs" Mr.. Morton

commission or some other person
who understands the new scheme,
will present it,"
We'll go any place in the city
and be glad to do it, with the ordi-
nance and maps"
Some Of the architects Monday

provision for apartment houses was
too small.
Some of them changed their
minds" Morton said, when we
showed them that the Garvy apart
ment house at Thirty eighth ave-
nue. and Dewey will cover only 80
per cent of the ground, and that the
