Court Decision
Nullifys Zone
Ordinance, l.. A.


Los, ANGELES, March 22.-Be-
lieved to have the effect of nulli-
flying the city zoning ordinance,
under which the city is. divided into
five zones, an important decision
was handed down by Justices Cur
tis, Conrey and Houser, of the dis
trict court of appeals.
The decision was in the case of
Hector Zahn and A. w. Ross who
sought writ of mandate compell-
ing the board of public works to
grant them a permit for the const-
ruction of 16 store on Wiltshire
Boulevard, west of La Brea street.
The court, in ordering the writ Of
mandate, held that the zoning ordi-
nance as it applies to all parts of
the city was 'ah arbitrary attempt
by the city authorities to discrimi-
nate between uses Of property per-
mitted in that-territory and uses Of
property in other territory" :"
LOS ANGELES, Mar. 22-Deter-
mined to uphold the city zoning
law if at all possible, the city at
torney's office was today preparing
q petition to the state supreme
court for a rehearing in the ease Of
Hector, H.. Zahn and A. w. Ross
against the public works in which
tn, stcpnd district court of appeals
ruled flat the zoning ordinance is
void. -.
