IT is IMPORTANT that the smaller cities and the
larger towns should consider the problem which will
to ALL to placing the incorporate limits of the several
municipalities into where manufacturing interests
shall be limited be prevented from encroachng upon
the residential districts where costly properties for homes
are either built will all likelihood, be located in the
future In the best residential districts factories not
desirable and would result in serious depreciation of real
estate well homes in districts where they
mitted to encrOach For that the system is
proper solution of the problem In Milford Char
ter provides for the restraint in erection of factories
mills in residential sections while the ordinances provide
the methods by which the Charter made operative But
this provides for the incorporate limits while the outlying
sections left to the ncnatOns of owners of
property to what shall be located thereon The City of
Wilmington this problem serious situation for
the authorities solve for several past The Every
Evening edoriay commented the action of Mayor
Harvey who has passed the problem to very compe-
body of three consider and make report of
pan to be submitted the basis of SYSTEM which
will be watched with interest by other towns. 1t said:
with an important and somewhat delicate matter to
carry Mayor Harvey reached the best result possible
his selection of the members of the Zoning Commission
which will prepare plan for the Inauguration of zonng
system for city-Charles c. Kurtz, Walter Stewart
Brown and City Councilman Alexander Abrahams All
three promptly confirmed by City Council Mr. Kurz
an experienced real estate specialist Mr. Brown cap
able architect, and Mr. Abrahams of general know-
edge in municipal administration with good record for
service.
"It is conceded the time has when our city has
actual need of zonng system 1t has so increased in i'm
porance industrial centre and most desirable place
residence that the prevention of invasion of choice
sections for all classes of people, by industrial
establishments that may detrimen is necessary
There for the inauguration of plan of
division that will prevent fine residence section being
practically spoiled for residence by the intrusion
of industrial establishment which, matter how desir
able aid to general prosperity docs not make an
agreeable neighbor And there many matters in con-
necon with building improvements generally which de-
special consideration with view of averting uncon
genial building intrusions of various kinds.
It is fortunate therefore, that the determination of
this matter has been committed to such capable hands
The people will have every to look for the best

McMullen viii Pit His
Strength Against Richie

At the solicitation Of many of his
friends in Cumberland and other parts
OF the State, Hugh McMullen has an
nounced himself as candidate for the
governor of Maryland, subject to the
decision of the democrat primary
election.
In this is seen, most likely, the OPP
position Of the Smith forces to the
candidacy Of Governor Richie: 1t
will bring on spirited contest, but
it will not effect the democratic vote
in the general election a great deal no
matter which is nominated, as there
will be no Independent candidate.
Governor Richie does not seem to
allow Mr.. McMullen to annoy him
much. The latter has a very cordial
invitation to attend the conference of
Editors which Governor Richie has
called Saturday at Annapolis to dis
cuss State problems-very unusual
political courtesy.
Mr.. McMullen has many warm
friends in the State, and his expert
ence as a financier would stand him
in good stead, were he to be elected.
