Building Regulations Prove
Popular in Rural Districts
Also, Says U. S. Report.

Approximately one-seventh of the
total population of the United States
live in zoned cities, towns and viii
lagos, according to figures gathered
by the division Of building and hous-
ing Of the Department OF Commerce.
Computations show that the homes of
ct per cent of the total urban popu-
lation of the country are located In
zoned municipalities, and it conse-
quently follows that most of these
homes are protected from intrusion
of garages. stores, warehouses,
m manufacturing plants or other build
ings of similar character which
tend to cheaper the value of resi-
dences.
Zoning regulations provide, by a
neighborly kind of agreement. that
a city or town shall be divided into
districts. in which the uses for which
structures may be built, their maxi
mum height and the area of the lot
which they may cover are established.
Objects of Plan.
! In line with the coming plan, GER
tain districts are set aside for resi-
dences, for apartment houses, for
Office buildings and for manufactur-
ing. Ample provision is made for
normal growth of business and INDUS
trial districts, but the builder of
garage or factory is not allowed TO
erect 1t within a residential neighbor-
hood regardless of the annoyance ana
money losses that may be involved
The department investigate shows
that in 1922 coming spread consider
ably, especially in smaller places.
Fourteen towns. with five to ten thou
sand Inhabitants, were zoned during
the year. bringing the total zoned
towns in this class to twenty-three.
Twelve places, with 5000 inhabitants
or less. were added to the list in 1922.
making a total of seventeen for this
class The percentage of large cities
which have already been zoned re-
mains much greater, of course, and
of the fifty largest cities In the coun-
try twenty-five have zoning ordi-

In the entire country 100 cities.

New York has been zoned since 1916,

LIONS
EXPECT HARD
CONTEST
Interest in Saturdays Clash
With Middies Is Becom-
ing intense.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Oct. IT,
The interest in the big game with the
Navy to be played here on Saturday
is becoming intense. Penn State
students are beginning to size up
their teams chances of victory from
every angle. In all discussions,
however, but one thing predoml-
mates, and that is confidence in the
ability of Coach Hugo Bezdek to
develop the Nittany Lions into u
superior fighting machine for that
grapple with the Middies.
Penn State followers are forced to
concede superior experience to the
Navy. Bob Folwell has a veteran
combination that is much stronger
this year than it was last year. And
last fall Penn State was defeated, IA
to 0. It is also known here that
the Middies are confident of victory
and that they are coming to State
College to give Penn State the worst
beating ever administered on Nav
Beaver Field.
The Nittany Lions are undoubtedly
the underdogs for this game which
Will feature Eastern grid battles next
Saturday. In a large measure the
game will determine the success or
failure Of the 1923 season for both
teams. A defeat for the Navy will
spoil their chance Of going to the
Pacific coast on New Years Day
with an untarnished record, and in
this respect the Middies have more
to lose than do the Lions.
On the other hand, a victory for
Penn States inexperienced eleven In
this important game will give the
Nittany boys the confidence they
need. Coach Bezdek and his s.
sistants have faced many problems
this fall in filling vacancies from
last years team. They have finally
hit upon what they believe to lie
their best combination and they have
confidence in the eleven men who
will be selected to uphold Penn State
traditions on the gridiron next Sat
urday. Those who are familiar with
Penn State teams believe that he
1923 eleven will justify this conf.
dence to the utmost.

which there is any worry. Fred
