opened to the public during the com
ing spring.
The report further says that the
National Geological Park had one of

Zoning is both n positive and n

The unzoned community is at a
very serious disadvantage as compared
with the community that has adopted
a zoning ordinance, Especially is this
so in the case OF metropolitan areas
with numerous suburbs
The zoned localities are not only
absorbing the bettor grade OF develop
ment at the expense OF the unzoned
suburbs. but they are forcing the un-
desirable type Of development into
the unZoncd towns.
These were some OF the outstanding
arguments in defense Of the zonlng
