 URGED BY WYNN T0 V0TERS' LEAGUE
Special Committee Named To Look After Registration
 Of New Voters

The bill to be presented to the July session of the state legislature on zoning was explained to the mem bers of the League of Women Vot- CTS by W. J. Wynn. city attorney, Tuesday afternoon at the regular meeting of the league which was held in the private dining room of the Tutwiler hotel.
 "The bill has been prepared as an enabling act, giving full powers to all cities of the state to pass zon- ing ordinances" said MT. Wynn. The chief values of the bill, aside from gaining uniformity, and mak- ing the city beautiful, IS It's eco homie features and protection to health. From an economic point of view 1t will stabalize values, and if a person builds a residence in cer- tain section of the city, the value of that property will stand because business houses will not be allowed to be built next door
 "Zoning will not only be pro- lection to the residential section but to the business houses, because where industrial plants are located there will be no residences.
 From a health standpoint, apart ment houses will not be built to overshadow the smaller home thereby preventing them from re- ceiving a sufficient amount of fresh air and light and will prohibit per sons living in crowded quarters, like tenement houses"
