Among hydraulic engineers. home

there has been long-felt need for an

of incruStation. usually of some for

Obviously, corrosion and tubercula
ton cut down the effective interior
diameter of the pipe and increase the
friction of the water passing through

materially the delivery of water

greater cost in pumping. Lining with

clearly valid as applied to the great
cities might be clearly invalid as
applied to rural communities.

which lies at the foundation of so
much of the common law of nuis-
ances. ordinarily will furnish fairly
helpful clew. A nuisance
may be merely right thing in the
i wrong place, like a pig i'm the parlor
instead of the barnyard. IL the
validity of the legislative classifica-
ton for zoning purposes be fairly
debatable, the legislative Judgment
must be allowed to control"
Crux Of Legislation.
THE serious question in the case
arises over provisions of the ordi-
nance excluding from residential
districts apartment houses. business
houses, retail stores and shops and
other like establishments. This
question involves the validity of
what is really the crux of the more
recent zoning legislation, namely, the
alton and maintenance of resi-
Dental districts from which business
and trade of every sort. including
hotels and apartment houses, are ex-
cluded," the court points out.
The opinion of the Supreme Court
summarizes the general tenor of
decisions by the State courts as
showing a constantly increasing
tendency toward broadly sustaining
thic rApUor- nYd riIntcC nraHnO1fnot
ing number of these courts as agree
ing that the exclusion of buildings
devoted to business. trade, etc,
from residential districts. bears
rational relation to the health and
safety of the community. Some of
the grounds for this conclusion are:
Promotion of the health and secu-
rity of children and others by sepa-
rating dwelling houses from terri
tory devoted to trade and industry;
suppression and prevention of dis
order; facilitating the extinguishing
of fires and the enforcement of
street traffic regulations and other
general welfare ordinances; aiding
the health and safety of the COM
munity by excluding from residential
areas the confusion and danger of
fire. contagion and disorder which in
greater Ut less ucSIcc dtIdCtt " the
location of stores, shops and fac
tories.
another ground is that the con-
struction and repair of streets may
be rendered easier and less expensive
by confining the greater part Of the
heavy traffic to the streets where busi-
ness is carried on
Further text Of the decision is. in

decision has been awaited by munlcl-
palities everywhere as of flfst I'M
portance in determining the VaHdils
of zoning ordinances now enacted III
more than 450 cities and villages OIL
the United. States.
The decision, establishing 'in gem
eral scope and dominant features
the constitutionaIity of the ordinance
in question, is of the highest impor.
tance as affecting the conservation or
real estate values I'm every munlcl-
pality or governmental division where
such provisions have been adopted or
NAV be adopted, the National ASSo-
citation of Real Estate Boards points
out. BY the breadth of the decision
the court gives a clear legal right OF
way to ordinances designed to make
possible an orderly development or
American cities, and to minimize the
economic waste which haphazard de-
yelopment entails.
The court specifically points out
that the present decision does not pre-
clude the throwing out of any indi-
vidual zoning ordinance which may be
drawn i'm an arbitrary manner or In
a manner not conducive to the gen
eral welfare.
Changing Conditions Considered.
The present opinion definitely takes
into consideration the fact that con-
ditions of life are rapidly changing
and that, with the great increase ana
concentration of population, problems
have developed and are developing
which require, and will continue to
REQUIRE. restrictions not hitherto nec-
essary in respect to the use and oc-
cupation of private lands in urban
communities.
Regulations, the wisdom, necessity
and validity of which as applied to
existing conditions are SO apparent
that they are now uniformly sus-
tanned, a century ago or even nal1
century ago probably would have been
rejected as arbitrary and oppressive,
the opinion states.
"Wfffle the meaning of constitu-
scope of their application must ex-
pand or contract to meet the new
and different conditions which are
constantly coming within the field of
their operation"
Building zone laws which began in
this country about 25 years ago are
sustained, under the complex condi-
tions of our day, 'for reasons anal
ogous to those which justify traffic
regulations, which, before the advent
of automobiles and rapid transit
street railways. would have been con-
demned as fatally arbitrary and un-
reasonable the opinion states.
THE ordinance now under review

BANK RECEIVER SUED FOR G|LPATRIC FUNDS
S45,0OO Action Brought by Trustee of Cotter
 Estate

Hartford, Jan. :5 (Pl-A suit for Si5,o00 has been instituted in the superior court at Hartford by the Hartford Connecticut Trust com pany, trustee under the will of Jo- seph W. Cotter of Putnam, against George M. Coffin. receiver of the First National bank of Putnam to recover moneys alleged to have been juggled in the accounts by former State Treasurer q, Harold Gilpatric and which have been lost to the Cutler estate by Gilpatric's manipu- lations.
 Lawrence A. Howard signed the will as a commissioner Of the su- perior court.
 The writ alleges that on Fcbru- ary IA. 1921, Gilpatric as eyecutor of the will Of Joseph W. Cot,er, late Of Putnam, had on deposit in the First National bank Of Putnam
 funds in excess of S42,o7S, and al that time Giipatric was the cashier
 Of the bank. On said day said Gil-
 patric took from said executors ac-
 count to the amount of S4@.07S and increased the assets Of said bank bS
 that amount" says the complaint
 which continues:
 The plaintiff is informed and be-
 lieves that said amount was used by said bank 10 pay for certain Liberty
 bonds which said bank had ordered
 of certain brokers in Hartford on February, 1921. and for which said bank paid certain brokers in Ros- . ton, Mass, correspondents Of said brokers in Hartford. on February Is, 1qcf. and which said Boston hrok-
 CTS on February l5, 1921, delivered to the Federal Reserve bank o' . Boston for the account Of the Firs' National bank Of Putnam. Said amount was never returned . to the estate of said Cutler.
