COUNC|LMEN. WANT,T0
SEE THE zON|NG BILL
Object to Its Going to Dover
Without Their First Ap-
.r proving It.

At a meeting OF City Council last
night. II was adv pcated by Councilman
John j. Murray hat a public meeting
be held to acque Mt the general pub
lie with the con rnts of the proposed
zoning bill TO be resented to the next
session OF the State Legislature.
The matter wa brought up by Mr..
Murray, who said hat, according to n
newspaper article which he had read
the zoning commission recently APP
rointed by Mayor Harvey. was to
present the bill without first allowing
City Council TO examine and approve
it.
Councilman Abrahams explained
that Mr.. Murray had gained a wrong
impression OF the matter. He pointed
out that among the members OF the
xoning commission were half OF the
members OF City Council. He said
that in accordance with a request
made last year by Council, no bills
We're to be presented from THE city
without perusal OF the Councilman
The bill. he said. was still In very
rough form and not ready to be pre-
sented to the Legislature or to Council.
that perhaps it was not really necee-
sary TO present bill to the Legis-
lature. anyhow, the matter being a
local issue. The legal details were ex
planned on this point. and Councilman
McNabb took the floor.
Referring not only to this ca sc. but
to many others he said II believe
that II we dug deep enough into the
law we would find that many things
could be done without first getting
permission Of the Legislature. We
bow down to the Legislature too much,
and make It feel overly important"
This view was also expressed by
other councilmen. No action was
taken, however.
The Council accepted an tnv!tatio
from the Sons of Italy to review the
parade OF that body on Columbus Day,
the Public Building.
The Building Inspectors report
showed in September "a permits. at a
valuation OF s214.92S, had been issued
