Flock to City Hall to Have
 zOning Law Explained

Announcement that several hun 3reds building lines are nullifled by provisions Of the zoning act resulted in a hustle of activity among pro- psrty owners, many Of whom called at city hall today to determine the status of their plots and to learn the procedure for establishment Of new lines.
 Although the provision referred to has been a part Of the city's law since last September 1t was not gen. erally known until yesterday. Mem bers Of the board of adjustment are reported to have expressed surprise that the average setback alignment within q specified area is the deter mining factor rather than the build Ing line established by the common council. The only exceptions 10 this rule are the instances where the common councils line is more stringent than the one 10 he deter mined by the average setback.
 It is expected that several appli- cations will be made to the com mon council next month for the purpose of having definite lines es- tablished 10 prevent encroachment beyond existing buildings.
