civic spirit by creating confidence
in the justice and stability of the
protection afforded.
Zoning gives everyone who lives
or does business in a community a
chance for the reasonable enjoy
ment of his rights. At the same
time it protects him from unrea
sonable injury by neighbors who
would seek private gain at his eX-
pense.
"ZOning regulations differ in diff
ferent districts according to the
determined uses of the land for
residence, business, or manufacture
ing purposes and according to the
advisable heights and ground
areas. But these differing regula-
tions are the same for all districts
of the same type. They treat all
men alike.
Why IL Is Needed.

Yet many American cities do
the same sort of thing when they
allow stores to crowd in at random
among private dwellings. factories
and public garages to come elbow
ing in among neat retail stores or
well-kept apartment houses. Cities
do no better when they allow Of
flee buildings so taA and bulky and
so closely crowded that the lower
floors not only become too dark
and unsatisfactory for human use
but for that very reason fail TO
dividual investors.

OF AMERICAN CITY
CENTERS ON PROPER ZONING
Protection of Property Values Covered Under
Correct System.

BENEFITS which municipality
can derive from the common sense
application of the coming system
are outlined in the first of a series
of articles prepared by the ad-
visory committee on Zoning OF the
division Of building and housing,
Department of Commerce.
The advisory committee on Zon-
ing was appointed by Herbert
Hoover, Secretary of Commerce.
1t has devoted months of study to
analyzing State enabling acts and
zoninE ordinances. 1t aims to
make its reports of distinct aid To
communities interested in the pro-
motion of the public welfare and
the protection of property values.
What XOning Is.
"Zoning is the application oil

public regulations governing the
use of private real estate. the

Ball rent law, that there will be no
general increase in rentals nor
wholesale evictions should the rent
law expire. -
Representative Frank Millspaugh
of the House District Committee,
who has consistently opposed the
Ball rent law. contends that a
period during which the rent law
would be imperative would settle
the question as to whether the real
estate operators would resort to
eNtortion or not. Millspaugh ex-
pressed the opinion that conditions
would be better without the law.
but in the event that eXtortion was
resorted to he advocated a law even
more drastice than the bill now
awaiting the action of the House.
