A ZONING

Along the line Of the city planning idea, AS
bury Park has just adopted a zonins ordinance
that affords protection to the valuable residen-
.ia1 and hotel district of that resort. The or
dinance was brought about through the protest
of the property owners around Fourth avenue
where is was planned to erect a commercial
garage. Realizing the detriment to a residential
and hotel neighborhood that a dirty. noisy
garage would be the city commission acted
promptly and no doubt saved hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in realty values. The ordinance
prohibits the erection of commercial garages
within the territory bounded by Asbury avenue,
the ocean, Deal lake and 100 feet east of the
easterly line of Main street. People owning
property within this zone can now rest assured
that any money they may invest in a fine resi-
dence or a hotel will not be lost through the
erection of a commercial garage next door, or
in the Immediate vicinity.
Perth Amboy people have had some exper-
fence along this line. A man hardly knows
where to build a house here. At the time he
invests in a piece of real estate the surroundings
may be all right. But at present there is moth
ing to prevent someone building a commercial
garage or a factory on an adjoining lot at any
time.
This zonirg idea goes along with a city plan.
Adopt a city plan setting aside a certain resi-
Dental section and see to it that that section is
reserved for residences and nothing else and a
man can build a house feeling that he is pro-
tected.
BY all means. give Perth Amboy a city plan
so that, as was remarked by one of the women
at the recent meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce, IL will not be necessary for any more of
our desirable residents to move to Woodbridge
or Metuchen to find a suitable place to establish
a home.

90 PCT. ALCOHOL
BEVERAGES NOT
LIKED BY CITY

Fifty per cent alcohol beverages re-
tailed openly over soft drink bars in
Ell Centre will be thing of the past
within short time if it is legally
possible to make it so. This was the
decision Of the city council last night
when informed that certain alleged
medicines with alcohol contents run
ming as high as half are being openly
dispensed.
Police Commissioner Bragg and
Mayor Sones will take the matter up
with the city attorney, and if the pres
ent city ordinance is void or cannot
be enforced a new one will be drawn
up, conforming to the provisions of
the Volstead act.
Chief of Police Dave Matlock said
today: "This town is a bone dry one,
and we are going to keep it bone
dry The proprietors of these stands
have several times given me their
word they would stop selling these al
legged medicines, but they have failed
to do so. Thei ralcohol content is so
high that the effect is the same as of
old
