STARTS MOVE
FOR RESIDENCE
ZONES IN CITY
Steps Taken as Result of Plan
for Motor Factory at
Meridian and Maple.
LEGAL FIGHT IN VIEW

Residential districts IN Indianapolis
are to be protected from the encroach-
ment of industrial concerns.
Steps to provide such protection are
now being taken by city officials as the
result of a controversy between the city
park board and the Craig Hunt Motors
company over a factory site at Meridian
street and Maple road.
Mayor Charles w. Jewett announced
today that. in conjunction with the city
planning committee now contemplated.
a city zoniug committee is to be APP
pointed to arrange for legislation for the
protection of residential sections of the
city.
James Fl. Lowry, superintendent of
parks, announced that the park board
intended to fight the erection of the
Craig Hunt assembly plant 10 a finish.
He conferred with J. Clyde Hoffman, at
torney for the park board, IN regard TO
what legal action can be taken.
POINTS TO LACK OF
RESIDENTIAL SECTIONS.
1T is the duty Of the city government
to protect residential districts from in
dustrial buildings" said Mr.. Lowry In
discussing the matter. There is not one
first-class residential section in Indian
apolis today and this condition is caused
by permitting facto.tes to locate at will
We have long been in need of an ordi-
nance regulating building zones and an
effort to get such legislation will be
made by members Of the park board
The movement to protect property
rights in residential districts developed a
the result of complaints from citizens l!v-
ing near Meridian street and Maple
road. who are opposed to the proposed
building Of the Craig Hunt automobile
assembly factory at the intersection and
the erection Of q gasoline filing station
Both Meridian street and Maple road are
bouleyards and property owners IN the
vicinity feel that there viii be a depre-
eta ton In their property in case the fac
tory is permitted 10 build
The Craig Hunt Company now holds
an option on a building site mt the IN
tersection which is being purchased
through the real estate firm OF Spann
Co. It is planned TO erect either n
three or our-story building to be uscd
as an assembly plant The property
has frontage of $50 feet on Meridian
street and 270 feet on Maple road.

few days. He said, however that the
matter was no longer In the hands Of
the real estate firm, as It tied merely
as an agent for the property and that
the option Is now In force.
There is no doubt" he said, that the
city needs legislation to protect prop

the real estate men have been advocating
steps in this direction for some time
but 1t seems as though the park board
