of a type OF high building believed

In, an analysis OF building permits

tended TO follow the residence dis

In New Jersey 1t has been found
that the unzoned suburban town is
at a distinct disadvantage as com.

asking themselves why they should
invest money in a home or lend
money on a mortgage in an unpro,
tected unzoned locality. The zoned
towns are actually absorbing the

result has been that builders. afchi.
