ZONING FOR CITIES.

AS a part of a city plan an adequate
coming system is of the utmost i'm
portance. The following editorial
the Paterson Press-Guardian on
value of this feature of municipal
coming for cities brings out the
development:
''Zoning is the next logical step in
the development of all American
cities-that is. in those which do not
ALREADY have coming legislation. Pater-
son has already made a beginning in
the reform but much remains to be
done to make the proposition a real
success here.
EFFECTIVE coming would designate
residential, manufacturing and bust
ness districts. 1t would regulate the
height of buildings. Under coming, one
who builds a $4,000 dwelling would
find his investment deprecated
fifty per cent. because a garage or
factory, or tenement house of poor
type mas Detn eItCleu iiSdibSt u hNN
door. Another thing found over and
over again in American cities that
would be made impossible is the close
punching of say, a dry cleaning
establishing a private dwelling. an
Immense fiat building, and a couple OF
stores.
New York about three years ago
lpassed the first local coming ordinance
in the country. a few other cities
quickly followed. But the majority OF
cities of consequence have not yet done
so. And some that have started the
proposed reform have fallen pitifully
by the wayside
Renewed efforts to convince al
elements of communities hat zonine
is beneficial and healthful-outside o.
the sterilization it brings to real estate
will be made as a result of th'
National City Planning Conference. re
Gently held at Cincinnati.

small home owner. the big industry

this GA years of Republican National
Convention history. ticket-timber has
been confined to a total of nine states.
Ten Presidential nominees have
been named on a single roll-call. Twice
1t has taken three roll calls Tin the
cases Of Lincoln and Hughes); once,
four roll calls tBlaine); once; seven
roll calls (Hayes); once. eight roll
calls (Harrisonl. and once, SO roll
calls (Garfield). Fourteen times

too wide and not more than two cars
can run abreast. The fellow who tries
to pass everybody to grief rs
as he meets a car coming in h
opposite direction. lie being on the
wrong side of the road, either forces
the car coming toward him into the
ditch or he must break into the line
of ears which he had tried to pass. In
either case there is great danger.
Somebody has to give way.
AS for the traffic laws and rules Of
the road there may as well be none
as far as protection for the law-abid-
ing citizen is concerned. The only law
recognized on the highways on Sun
day is the law of self-preservation.
There is only one solution. A state
police force should be created to do.
traffic duty on the state highways. The
place where there is any SEM
blance of law enforcement is in cities
and towns where traffic officers are on
duty. The fact that some of the more
daring autoists will take chances even
in these places is evidence of what it
must be like out in the open country.
Mounted police every few miles
apart on all the state highways under
the Jurisdiction of the state so that the
state borders are the only boundary
lines recognized as far as authority
goes, furnish the only solution. They
should have at their disposal a
parallel telephone system so that
officers farther on can be notified to
stop a speeder who has escaped from
one officer. Only under such n con-
dition can our main highway be made
safe on Sunday for careful drivers.
At the present time New Jersey tax
payers spend millions of dollars build
ing fine roads only to turn them over
TO New York and Pennsylvania
autoists for their special use on Sun
days. Jerseymen can stay at home.
Whenever the injustice that New
Jersey suffers in this respect is
mentioned there is a great hallabalooi
about discrimination and reciprocity.
But there is not another state In the
Union situated as New Jersey Is with
two of the greatest cities of the coun-
try Just over her borders and herself
possessing the seacoast and mountains
that attract thousands of all kinds and
classes from these great population
..centers. An adequate state police
force is needed to make these nom
residents understand that New Jersey
laws must be needed so as to make the
New Jersey highways and New Jersey
ATTRACTIONS safe for New Jersey people.
