Augusta Business Men
Interested in Draft
Of PrODOSed Zone Laws

The business men OF Augusta through
their Chamber of Commerce have been
asked to send a delegation to attend a
hearing before the committee on judic-
iary of the State Legislature on
Wednesday afternoon, JAM 26, at .
o'clock at the State House., on pro-
posed new zone law This law, if il
towns power to regulate the location
of new buildings, so that the value OF
another mans building would not be
deprecated because of the encroach-
ment of objectionable industrial estab-
lishments, inferior buildings or noisy
garages, etc.
This law is the necessary predecessor
of any attempt to adopt or to follow
a city plan. 1t is optimistic inasmuch
as it looks to the future growth OF
cities. If all the advertising and the
publicity handled by the State OF
Maine through their various Chamber
Of Commences is to materialize in a
period of growth and prosperity, then
such an ordinance should be upon the
statutes books of every city. This pro-
posed act IL simply to give to the cities
and towns the power to make such
laws as their conditions would warrant
The committee from the Augusta
Chamber OF Commerce will consist oil
the board of directors, all Of whom are
expected to attend.

Roy r. Leach Of Lewiston

1t was with the deepest regret that
Augusta people learned Thursday of
the death of Roy F. Leach, manager
of the Lewiston Chamber of Com
merce,. formerly of this city, which
occurred Wednesday night at the
Massachusetts General hospital in
Boston, where he had been taken for
treatment.
Mr.. Leach had been in failing health
for several months. Early in No
vember he was stricken with ncuritis,
remaining in his house for about two
weeks. He apparently recovered, re-
suming his duties at the headquar-
tiers of the Lewiston Chamber of
Commerce, but the fact that his old
vigor and enterprise did not return
was noticed by his friends with anx-
iety A few weeks ago he suffered a
complete breakdown. and on Tuesday
his condition was SO critical that he
was taken to Boston.
Mr.. Leach had been the manager Of
the Lewiston Chamber since May,
1918, and had proved most proficient,
thoroughly interested in the welfare
Of the city and a hard worker.
Mr.. Leach was born - years age
at Penobscot, and was educated there

than the others of the Office force and
often thought that he knew more
about what the commission was do

I'm addition to his regular duties,
he made particular study of the do
mestic water supplies of Maine, the
Legislature having in 1915 put into
the commissions hands the preven-
ton of the pollution of domestic wa
terss and he having charge of the
work.
He was an especially good man to
meet people who thought they had
grievance and to smooth out the trou-
BILE. putting them in touch with all
sides of the question and settling the
matter without fFther proceedings.
