ENDED TODAY
Commission Expects to Have
Complete Regulations Ready
September /.

Public hearings on tentative Zonlng
regulations were completed today by
the District Zoninz Commission.
Representatives of the Federation OF
Citizens Association, the Board OF
Trade and the Chamber of Commerce
presented their views on the proposed
regulations coupled with numerous
recommendations
The commission has until Se., EN-
Der To formulate and adopt set OF
regulations which will permanently
govern building in Washington. Daily
conferences viii be held by the COM
mission in the District building.
William b. Westlske represented
the citizens federation. He regis
tered general approval of the tenta
tive regulations. He objected to the
35-foot height regulation for sub
urbs. pointing out that some provision
should be made whereby wealthy men,
contemplating large estates. would
not be forced to restrict the height OF
their homes.
L. G. Graham appeared for the
Board OF Trade. He introduced into
the record report adopted by the
boards zoning committee. This re-
port made some Recommendations.
The board is anxious that a 130-
foot height limit be placed on build
ings on Pennsylvania avenue from
Peace Monument to Twenty-second
street, displacing the f60-foot regu-
latioh now In effect. 1t recommend
ed also 130-foot height limit for
the entire downtown section OF the
city. instead of the 11O-foot limit,
proposed by the commission.
The board recommended that the
Industrial area be enlarged and that
it include all land on either side
Of steam railway lines and along
river fronts. Specific recommended
tions for certain parts OF Washing
ton were made.

First Snowfall
of the Season

Tine first snowstorm of the season
swept along the upper slopes of the
Cooper and Greenhorn mountains on
Wednesday night. and huge masses
of "the beautiful" were diScernible
in the northwest and southwest from
the city this morning. The snowfall
was heavier in the Pixies Peak and
Cripple Creek districts than In other
sections, except on the crest of the
Continental divide, where there also
appears to have been a considerable
precipitation.
The storm was heralded by strong
winds in the Arkansas valley the first
OF the week and was not unexpected.
There was a light rain with falling
temperature Wednesday night in the
Canon City territory, bringing to an
abrupt termination several weeks OF
Indian summer. A bulletin issued by
the weather bureau in Washington a
few days ago, gave warning of the
coming storm, and enabled people in
some degree at' least, to prepare for
the impending changfe. 1t stated that
an atmospheric disturbance of wide
spread influence was moving In an
east-southwestern direction along the
southern coast of Alaska and would
be felt in Washington, Oregon, Mon
tana and other northwestern states to-
day. 1t should reach Colorado on
Friday or Saturday, and is likely TO
manifest itself as cold wave OF con-
siderable intensity. There is a prob
ability, the bulletin states, of snow II

The temperature for the remainder
Of the week is likely to cause consid-
cradle talk of snow and create anx-
iety for the few remaining buds and
blossoms in flower beds and porch
boxes.

Making Visitations
To Rural Schools

Mrs. Carrie T. Anthony is taking
full opportunity OF the prevailing fine
days to make her official Inspection
OF the rural schools Of the county,
some OF which are so remote from
Canon City as to preclude such Wis
itation under favorable conditions Of
roadway and weather.
On Tuesday she visited the schools
at Cramer and on Upper Beaver
creek and reports them as doing un-
usually good work. Today she was
q visitor at the Woodruff and Port
land schools Everywhere in the

week. The difficulty Of obtaining
pickers has in many instances de-
layed the completion Of the undertak-
ing. A few ranchers did not begin
the harvesting Of their apple crop IN
til today.
The apple crop yield in this district
this year is computed to be anywhere
from so to 6o per cent OF maximum
crop, due to the late frosts last spring.
which killed many of the buds. Heavy
winds early in the present month also
reduced the crop OF saleable fruit By
blowing large quantities from the
-ees. A considerable amount OF this
w:ndfal fruit has been purchased by
outsiders at low price and hauled
away in auto trucks and in adjoin-
ing and more distant counties at a
considerable profit to those engaged
in the business. These apples are
to be found for sale at nearly all
towns within a radius of rs miles OF
Canon City, thus restricting the de-
mand for the better eias sof fruit
On Thusday a local dealer sold 100
boxes of sue', asspies to farmer lis-
ing near Limon, Colo. who hauled
them away to be sold among his
friends and neighbors. This is but one
instance out of many similar ones
thas could be cited to show how infe-
rior fruit is being trucked to distant
points to be disposed Of In conse-
quence of this particular kind OF
traffic there is little request at pres
ent for the better keeping and more
desirable fruit. There is practically
no local market at present for the
higher grades of apples. and buyers
do not care to quote prices. AS soon
as this more perishable stun is out
of the way, which can hardly last
more than couple Of weeks. there is
likely to be a keneer demand for the
higher grades of fruit.
Another thing that is keeping the
price of the Colorado product down IS
the bumper apple crop in the territory
east Of the Mississippi river, which is
just now Cutting the principal mar
kets of the country. Michigan, Ar
kansas, New York and other apple
growing states in the East and South,
have the largest apple crops this year
