EXPERT EXPLAINS
ZONING SYSTEM
Says Factories Should Be
Barred Off Boulevards.

Indianapolis Is seizing a strategic op-
portunity in starting a city planning
program. Flavel Shurtlef Of Boston. ex-
ecutive secretary OF the national confer
eneef ION city planning told joint meet
ing Of the Indianapolis Real Estate
BOard and the Kiwanis club at the Ho-
tel iSeverin today.
-. ,'Your city should delay no longer
Nr ShurtleT said.
Although you will never have the
huge bills for reconstruction which have
already been paid in some cities which
were not blessed with an original plan
providing for generous width of down
town streets and convenient radials, vou
rust expect, with a growth Of at least
1900 people year, that an unmatched,
unplanned Development will leave ynu
with a considerable liability in ill-as-
sorted street plans, with iogs 70 eIiTui-
hate, streets TO open, straighten and
widen.
Moreover, you are now faced with
AZ invasion of your boulevard system
by business uses.
1T is proposed to erect q well built,
good looking building on Maple road
and Meridian street
"It is good for such building to be
so placed where thousands of motors
pass daily, but it is not good for Maple
road, and your money and the money of
the residents Of that section was not
spent TO provide favorable locations for
bSsiness houses.
better example can be cited for
tie need of Cistrlcting-that is the
creation under the police power of dis
tricting for definite purposes and for
this kind Of buildings"

GUESTS OF CITY
Preach Advantages of Lower
Atlantic Cities as Outlets
for Shippers.
PURPOSES EXPLAINED

A large party of business men,
representing south Atlantic seaport
cities, visited indianapolis today Cd
a tour Of the middle west.
The visitors were met by a commit
tee Of fifteen members Of the Chamber
of. Commerce and the same number Of
ES1embers of the Board of Trade.
The delegation visited points of in
terest in the city, including the motor
speedway and numerous industrial
plants.
A banquet will be given at the Clay
POOL hotel tonight at which GOV. Bick-
ett Of North Carolina and r. Goodwin
Rhett. former president of the United
States Chamber Of Commerce, will

Maj. WILLIAMSON
EXPLAINS OBJECT.
Mai ". ". Williamson of Savannah.
Ga, a prominent ship broker. who has
been connected with the shipping in
terests Of that port for more than forty
years. explained the purposes Of the trip.
The trip is largely an educational
one" said Mai. Williamson.
We want the business men OF the
middle west to know what We have to
offer them in the way Of shipping ia
cilities to Cuba, South America and all
European ports.
I've have spent twenty-five years or
more in preparation for such a journey
into this prosperous section.
I'VE are now prepared 20 offer to the
shippers Of Indianapolis who want TO
secure their part Of the foreign trade
every advantage offered by any other
American port.
Until recently there has existed a bar
rier to shipping through the south that
has worked greatly TO our disadvantage
and also to the disadvantage OF the ship
per from the middle west.
This has been the unjust discrimina
tory rates between eastern ports and the
west as compared TO southern ports and
the west.
Heretofore It was cheaper to send
goods TO New York or Boston for export
than to send the same goods TO Savannah
Wilmington. Brunswick, Jacksonville or
Charleston, but the United States railroad
administration readjusted these rates so
that shipments can now be made south
ward as cheaply as to the east
These rates have been continued by
the Interstate commerce commission.
They are still in effect. although an
Alnort is being made in the east 20 have
the old order Of things prevail.
TT is to acquaint you westerners with
these facts that we have come TO see you
IF the old rates are restored 1t means
closing the southern ports TO you.
