coming CHANGE
IS SC0RED BY
VARDNAN
Builder Tells Commission Fur
Their Restriction Is
UnwaFranted.

Harry Wardman, shaking his
finger at the members Of the Dis
trict Zoning Commission. today
warned them against forbidding
him 10 erect community homes and
apartment houses on property he
has purchased in portions Of the
city zonedr in A areas.
Force us to build all our apart
ment houses in the already con-
gested parts Of the city and you
win only deprive the citizens Of re-
Lief from high rents" Mr.. Wardman
declared.
You will coop the newly mar.
ried couples up in one ROOM a
kitchen and bath, when they could
be enjoying four rooms, kitchen
and bath II we are allowed to go
farther out toward the country
where land is cheaper"
Mr.. Wardman appeared as a wit
ness before the coming commission
to protest against the proposed
change in large number Of actions
from Zone A to Zone A restricted
which would preclude the building
of any but single homes.
Power IL Challenged.
Judge Daniel Thew Wright, ap.
pearing before the Commission, for
Mr.. Wardman, declared that the
commission would, be exceeding its
authority in reclassifying the
property. The commission, he said,
is. authorized to regulate only where
the public health, public safety and
public welfare is involved.
William c. Sullivan, counsel for
other property owners whose lands
1t is proposed to rezone, also argued
aeAinst the charge and protested
against the procedure adopted by
the commission at the hearing.
Opposition Cheered.
Only two witnesses appeared tc
defend the changes, although the
room was crowded with persons who
cheered the remarks Of both OF
these men.
Edward F. Colladay, representing
Senator Phipps Of Colorado, asked
that the Wardman property, which
he said, is practically In the front
yard Of Senator Phipps' estate" be
placed in the A restricted area.
Similar arguments were presented
by Guy Mason, representing the Mel
| son properties.
