One councilman asked where the money was coming from and Council man Utter said it could be taken out of | the miscellaneous fund. There have ] been objections raised in several cases where people protested against rnanufac- | turing plants being erected. Councilman Smith believed a building ordinance would answer the same purpose. Coun- 1 cilman Utter believed 1t would be 8 1 grand thing for Westerly to have a zon- | ing ordinance and did not consider $500 a large sum for expert service.

 the corner of Grove avenue and Granite
 street for hotel. MT. Utter made the
 motion that the proposition be accepted. II Councilman Smith said this matter

 would not have been done if the zoning r laws were not legal. Councilman Nor : rison said in a case like the George C.. [ Moore company on Beach street it would s not be right to pass an ordinance which would bar concern from making an. r addition to it's plant. The matter was f left to be referred to the people.
