 Anxious to Avoid Suisances
 Mir. Christ said New Britain must always be manufacturing city and its residents realize they must stand few inconvenience and conditions they would not be confronted with if they lived In a city not a manu- featuring city CT in a rural com munity, But, he said, manufsc- turers are desirous of avoiding any actual nuisances and all incon- veniences that are not absolutely necessary to industry.
 The ordinance committee has given the very best type of coopera- ton Mir Christ said. He has made several recommendation and the matters are now under consideration by the common council committee,
 No Cause for Anxiety
 Mir. Christ fails 10 see occasion for anxiety on the part Of manufac- turers. He believes cooperation with the ordinance committee will tend to bring about the changes in- dustry believes are necessary to a wholly satisfactory zonine law.
 Chairman David L. Nair of the ordinance committee and Council- man Arthur N. Rutherford. both of whom were present at the confer onCe, said the factory interests. with the exception of the Stanley Works. are not lending the aid to tho com mittee that is necessary if q law satisfactory to all is 10 he drafted.
 Nair CritiCiIcS C. of (.
 The Chamber of Commerce. also came in for round of criticism by Councilman Nair, He said Secre- tary Ralph Gould has predicted the overthrow of the present zoning act with l5o 10 one against it's regula- lons. vet constructive criticism Is not forthcoming from the factories
 specific instance of change sought by the factories was explain ed hy Mir. Christ as follows: Factory interests here have found a seven story building 10 he ideally suited to the needs of the shops. The pres ent zCniMg law says no hullinc can he erected more than one and one half times the width Of the widest ahutting street. Under this ruling no seven story building could be put where there is not an ahutting street 60 feet wide.
 The zoning law will be discussed Thursday night at D meeting of the ordinance committee, and the recom- mendatiOns Of the Stanley Works will be considered
 The factory which was today put on record as favorine zoning with slight notifications, is the second largest manufacturing establishment in the city, The American Hardware Corporation. the largest plant, has also been reported to the connittes as being in favor.
