 Though the number of zoning, commis- sioners has not definitely been decided, it is understood that there will be five.
 It was the expectation Monday, that the board would be formed before the week is out, but since it will. require the sum of approximately $2U,000 to finance zoning survey and employ an expert to handle that work. delay may arise and the whole matter go over for year.
