The Proposed Zoning System

Several costs will DO inevitable In

itation upon property rights.
In the first place this system viii

men to map out. systematlze and de.
scribe-and then later aid always
there must be number OF men to
attend 10 the inspection uf buildings
and lots. that coming rules be obeyed
There will, OF course. be expense OF
maps and printed copies of zoning
laws. besides the added cost In every
sale OF real estate. connected with
adding coming rules 10 the abstract.
You may say that the present
building department win attend to
the matter without need OF add.
tional employees" This would be
impossible, unless the present engl.
necra' department has much idle
time on Its hands. Otherwise, a list
of inspectors must be added to the
city's payroll.
Thru this system. the city is like.
ly TO be cramped in its growth and
development. Many manufacturing
and business enterprises which
would bring citizens, development and
taxes would. thru the coming sys.
tenn. be lost 10 the community and
city. We already have sufficient
laws and limitations 10 furnish EN-.
ployment to a force of inspectors.
BY adding few more regulations
regarding garages and obnoxious
buildings. l think our city would
continue to make progress without
need OF mapped-out coming sys.

sound shall reach the council cham.

THE HORSES POINT OF VIEW
IN WINTER

If horse could talk, he would have
many things to say especially when
winter comes.
He would tell his driver how a
frosty bit stings and sears his lips
and tongue when it is thrust into
his mouth without being warmed
first
He would tell how it feels to have
nothing but ice cold water to drink
when he. is already shiyering from
the cold
He would tell of the bitter wind
that frosts his sides when he halts,
stean.ing from exeftion, and is tied
for hours in an exposed place with
out a blanket.
He would talk of slippery streets
and the sensations of falling on
cruel city cobblestones the pres
sure of the load pushing him to the
fall, the bruised knees and wrenched
joints, the frightened straps and the
feel of the drivers lash. the painting
nostrils and heaving flanks, and the
horrible fright of it all.
Yes, the horse would talk eloquent
ly, if he had the power of speech. And
having horse sense, he would urge
his driver, not merely for the sake
of kindness, but for the sake of main
tanning faithful servant at the high
est point of efficiency, to do these
things
Warm the bit before putting it into
his mouth.
Warm his water up to drinking
temperature, if it is very cold
Give him enough to eat, and spread
plenty of clean bedding in his stall.
Put blanket on him in the stable,
on cold nights.
Do not leave him standing in a
cold wind without. blanket
Keep him sharp-shod during the
winter.
Drive him carefully over icy pave
ments.
When he falls, quickly loosen his
harness and help him to rise, with
out blows
Watch for the appearance of gall
spots, and try to heal them before
they grow worse.
Be human with your horse Treat
him as we'll as he treats you.
