Fron'iscuous Construction To Be Curbed in Ne,rark
AS Safeguard to Health and Wealth of City

tory to health for folks TO locats IN
factory districts. Since it Ia the motive
Of the coming and building restrictions
to preserve the health as we'll as tho
wealth OF the city, preferential rights
give rise to reciprocal responsible
ties, no class Of building being free to
pc constructed tn any and every Sec
ton Of the city.
Four Use Districts
Four classes Of use districts ara pro-
posed for Newark, namely. resident.
business, industrial and heavy indus
trial districts.
Buildings In residential districts may
DO used as dwellings and teneme nts,
lodging and boarding houses. hotels.
churches, schools, Libraries and public
museums, hospitals and sanitariuma.
private clubs, philanthropic and elee,
mosynary institutions, railroad pas
senger stations and nurseries and green.
houses. Garages for more than five
motor vehicles are not permitted ma an
accessory use.
In business districts garages. except
after q public hearing by the board Of
appeals; blacksmith shops, horseshoe-
Ing establishments, milk bottling and
distributing stations, carpet and bag
cleaning establishments, coal Yards.
lumber yards. car barns, junk yards
and those trades and industries that
are prohibited in an industrial district
are excluded.
The business districts in a general
way embrace the principal thorough
fares traversing the different residence
sections Of the city and those
tenement house districts which have
been so badly invaded by business as
to make it impracticable to maintain
them exclusively for residence pur-
poses. Due to the large number of
factories already there, the downtown
business section could not be treated as
business district. The only exception
to this rule is found in the case Of
Broad and Market streets, which it
was deemed feasible to include IS a
business district.
In an industrial district buildings
may, as in q business district, be erect
ed for any use that is not categorically
excluded. The trades and industrie 3
banned are all Of a noxious or Of
fensive character by reason of the
emission of noise, odor, dust or gas,
embracing, among others. boiler works.
acid plants, garbage incinerators,
foundries ,smelters, slaughter houses,
stone crushers and tanneries.
The industrial districts include large
| areas outside of the meadows and are
found chiefly along the railroads, the

A curb is to be placed on the height
and use Of future Newark buildings.
Tho committee which was appointed to
study coming and building heights for
Newark has made tentative report
which will be taken up soon by the
city fathers, as Newark Is fully aware
York has been an object lesson for
other cities. It was not the flrst to put
into effect segregation Of construction
and occupation Of premises, but It was
the first great city to give the plan the
test which proved to all the inestima-
BILE value Of the scheme.
Segregation in New York 10 about
two years old. Damned at the outset.
It has come to be regarded as one OF
the most constructive measures given
by any municipal administration in this
city for many years.
Soon after the operation Of tho plan
here Newark decided that haphazard
construction would be the ruination of
the aesthetic and economical develop
ment of the city Of 1t were not stopped.
Investment could not be expected or
invited in city wMere the economic
life OF a building was in constant
jeopardy because builders could build
what they wished and anywhere they
wished and the manufacturer could
locate his plant anywhere he cared to.
Similar to New York's Plan
The suggestions Of the Newark COM
mittee are based on the coming plan in
operation in New York, with variations
that will suit conditions of topograp ply
and economy peculiar to Newark. Four
height limits are suggested by the
committee, the highest being $50 feet.
1t also recommends that entire dis
tricts be restricted to certain height
limits irrespective of the width of
some of it's streets, the only exception
to this provision being the downtown
business districts.
Wide streets are traffic arteries and
feed the narrow streets leading into
sections, and for that reason should
not be permitted to be lined with
buildings that top others, except in thu
downtown business district of the city.
While man can establish his home
in any section of New York he pleases
under the New York building heights
and restrictions, the Newark commit
tee would not permit it. If business is
restricted, so are residences. Tene-
ments in factory district are him
drance and interfere with develop
ment. The committee holds that since
it is not good for the health of dwell
ers to have factories in proximity to
their homes, it is equally deroga-

the construction of higher buildings
than this for several reasons. First,
Newark is peculiarly fortunate in
topography. It has abundant space for
the lateral extension Of the retail sec
t,on--it does not need to extend ver-
tically. Secondly, there are az yet
only three buildings in the city that
exceed a height of $50 feet.
OF the 125foot height districts there
Is also but one. This is a district in
the meadows which appears suscep-
tible Of large warehouse terminal de-
velopment, but which does not require
a greater height than ten stories.
The eightyfoot height districts en-
brace the great bulk of the industrial
areas in the city. as we'll as those
available for the erection Of six and
seven-story buildings.
The fifty-foot height districts con-
tain those areas which seem to be
destined for three and four-story
apartments.
The thirty-f1ve-foot height districts
are confined to those ighborho ods
that should be protected so far as pos
sible for one and two-family houses.
To absolutely prohibit the erection
of towers in Newark, it was felt, would
be a mistake. They lend variety to
the skyline and embellish a city as
few structures do. A single Wool
worth tower instills more civic pride
than hundred giant skyscrapers
occupying the entire lot.
The proposed coming ordinance
therefore. permits towers Of any
height subject to two conditions: "a
That they occupy no more than rs per
cent of the lot area, and (2) that an
open space be provided above the
height limit fixed for buildings in the
district on each and every lot line that
is not also street line. In other
words, towers are allowed on the street
line, but not on the property line.
Four classes of area districts are
proposed for Newark. In each district
the size of the courts and yards re-
CURED is made to vary with the height
Of the building
The A districts are designed espe-
cially for business and factory build
lngs requiring outside light and ven
tllation; B districts are those in which
apartments and tenements are to be
built; G districts are for detached
houses, and D districts were consti-
tuted to afford the maximum protec-
ton thought possible within constitu-
tlonal limitations to such private house
districts IS Weequahic Park. Clinton
Hill and Forest Hill. Apartments are
not excluded in D districts.

Passaic River. the canal, the downtown
business sections with the exception Of
Broad and Market streets and small
scattered areas in various parts Of the
city already developed with industry.
In heavy industrial district the
only use for which buildings may not
be erected Is for residential purposes.
This exclusion, however. does not ap-
ply to the erection and maintenance OF
dwelling quarters in connection with
an Industrial establishment for the
the premises.
The heavy industrial districts in
clude the greater portion Of the
meadows and such parts Of the IRON
bound district as are already devoted
to tho more offensive trades.
$50 Feet Height Limit
In working out the height regula-
tions it was deemed better to establish
fiat height limit, according to the
coming report, than TO vary the height
IN each particular case according to
the street width.
The only exception to this rule is in
the case OF the narrow streets in the
downtown business section where the
application of the height limit gener-
ally applicable to buildings in the dis
trict will permit the erection Of too
high buildings. These streets, which
in many instances, have a width Of
only 80 to 40 feet, are, moreover, so
interspcrsed between wider streets that
it Is impracticable to segregate them
in separate district with q lower
height limit than that applied to the
wide streets. In this part of the city.
therefore. a multiple Of the street
width is used to supplement the fat
height limit suggested for the district
as whole.
The fat height limit for this district
as whole is $50 feet But buildings
Of this height are limited to streets
having a width Of at least II feet. On
streets having width of less than rs
feet the height may not exceed twice
the width of the street. In applying
this rule, however, no street Is deemed
to have width of less than SO feet, 80
that even under the most unfavorable
circumstances a building Is permitted
a height Of at least 100 feet.
Five classes Of height districts are
proposed for Newark-150-foot, 1876
foot, 80-foot, 50-foot and 35-foot dis
tricts.
OF the 150-foot height districts there
is only one, the downtown business
section. This Limitation will permit
the erection of twelve-story buildings
