OF all who put their trust in Hlm.
Peter and the others, who had fol
lowed the Lord afar of and then de
MED Him or deserted the Master in
the hour of His need, went forth
coura eeously TO preach the gospel ot
the love Of God, revealed in the life
and resurrection Of the risen Christ.
There is no explanation, aside from
the Lords resurrection, Of the exist
ence Of the church, the New Testa
ment, the history of Christianity and
the missionary triumphs Of those who
have risked their lives in the ad
vancement Of the kingdom of God.
The evidence of the reality Of christ's &
resurrection was so conclusive that
under the leadership Of the Holy
Spirit the apostles proved their faith
in the risen Christ by couraGeOusly
carrying out the great commission Of
the one with whom they did cat
and drink with Him after He rose
from the dead" Our hopes for res
direction and meeting OF those who
have died in the faith in Christ il
based on the resurrection OF The Lord
Jesus. We prove our love for Him
by our service in His cause and for

the Apostle three questions and gave
him three comma ndS in answer TO

Either the owner of the property or tho lessee or purchaser there of. or the holder of an option on tho property. or both, would be the proper party to apply for the ex- ception. It may be that such per- sons arc subjected to an unneces- sary hardship by reason of the property being zoned in particu- lar district, so that the market value of the property Is so unrea- sonably or unnecessarily depreci- ated by enactment of the zoning ordinance as to constitute an ex- ceptional case.
 "As to whether 1t Is compulsory for the board of adjustment to make a finding of facts of unneces- sary hardship before it can act. my answer would be in the negative. No findings of facts whatever ap- pears to be necessary. should recommend, however. that in lay ing down rules for procedure, the board of adjustment consider the merits of making a finding of facts upon which any special exception Is based.

This Is Estimate in Indiana Coal
 Mine Tragedy

Princeton, Ind, Dec. g R-Rescue crews this afternoon predicted that the dead In the explosion in Fran cisco mine No. might total 20. They based their conclusion on the fact that only one-half of the 69 men who were in the shaft when the explosion A occurred. have been brought toethe surface.
 Princeton, Ind, Dec. 9 P)-Eleyen men are known to have been killed today in an explosion in the Fran cisco mino No. ?, located six miles east of Princeton. Two bodies were brought to the surface before noon. Neither was identified.
 Between 60 and 68 miners were entombed for time, but later emerged from the manway so rap- idly that all count of them was lost.
 It had not been definitely ascer- tained three hours after the explo- sion whether there IS any loss of life, but the men who emerged safe ly expressed the opinion that several of their fellows had been killed.
 The cause of he accident had not been determined. The miners said that the shaft was known to be "gassy" and that every precaution had been taken.
 Every available physician and nurse was rushed from Princeton to the scene of the explosion. Jack Ogilvie, director of mine rescue work in the Knox county coal fields, was

ing ordinance and in accordance with general or specific rules con- tained In the zoning ordinance. In conformity to this power, the com- mon council In the zoning ordinance, section l3 g, provided that the board of adjustment may in appropriate specific cases and under conditions and safeguards herein recited or otherwise appropriate, make special exceptions to the terms of this or dinance In harmony with it's general purpose and intent, subject always to the rule that any exception shall be made with due consideration 10 con- serving the public health. safety, w"'s're and property values.
 l.i section 35 of the New Britain zoning act. the board of adjustment is directly given certain powers of which sub paragraphs 1. and 3 are almost exact copies. It is appar- ent therefore that the power which the board of adjustment gets from sub paragraph 3 to make exceptions in the case of unnecessary hardship Is conferred directly by the legisla- ture and is distinct and additional to the power 10 make special eXcep- tions. with due consideration to con- serving pubic health. etc. mentioned above, which was enacted pursuant to powers conferred upon the com- in nf hc Britain zoning enabling act.
 Tn the light of the above, your first two questions should be answer ed to the effect that the unneces- sary hardship provision is distinct class of powers in addition to excep- tons which may be made subject 10 due consideration for public health, etc. In both the provisions which carries out section Sl and the pro- vision which carries out section 35 of the New Britain zoning act, the exception must be in accordance with the general purpose or spirit of the ordinance.
 Tn other words. they must con- form to sections oG and 2S of the New Britain zoning enabling act. The purport of these sections is that the zoning ordinance is for the pur- pose of promoting health, safety, morals, general welfare. comfort, happiness and prosperity of the in- hahitants of the city of New Bhtain and designed to lessening congestion in the streets: 10 secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers; to gro3ide adequate light and air; to prevent over-crowding 0. land: to avoid undue concentration of popu- lation; 10 facilitate the adequate provision of transportation. water, sewage, schools and parks, or to pro- mote other public requirements; all

No excep- ton which does not conform to the above purposes can be legally grAnt- ed by your board.
 Section 13. however. Is capable of different interpretation which is arrived at by construing the word therein" in the second line of sec tion 13 g, as referring to the entire subsection 2. including sub-para- graphs 1, 2 and and in construing the word Therein" In s 2 to refor to the entire subsection g, As to the latter Therein" unless 1t is so con- strued. there is nothing to which the word can apply. The presumption is that it refers to all limitations con- tained in the entire subsection g.
 "We have then an ordinance which might be construed by q court in either of the two ways above indicated A courts construc- ton would be law, whereas my con- struction is simply an opinion. It is feasible and desirable that the zon- ing ordinance be amended so as to make the meaning of section B z perfectly clear. As a matter of fact, this section paragraph was con- structed on the installment plan. Sub paragraphs l. and of were inserted, as I remember it, at the last minute and 1t is doubtful whether they amount to anything more than repetition of the char ter provisions, except that therein in sub para graph was intended 10 refer to the entire (g),
 If I am correct, however, In my opinions hereinafter expressed in this letter, 1t will make no practical difference 10 your board as to which construction is right. do not believe the existence of unnecessary hard ship is a jurisdictional fact. In other words, your board would not be justified in refusing to hear an application for q special exception on the ground that there is no un- necessary hardship being suffered by the applicant, but it is clear that i'll deciding the application that the hoard ehould take into acrount and consider whether literal enforce ment of the provisione of the ordi- nance would result in unnecessary hardship and that they should give due consideration also to conserving property values. The consideration of unnecessary hardship is provided 1 for under g 3, and the consideration
New Britain herald., 1926-12-09

of property values is provided for under g. the first part of tho same. So that whether the board considers the application under sub-para- graphs E l, and or unedr g itself, makes no difference, as hardship" and "property values are the same subject matter.
 You have asked for the meaning of the phrase unnecessary hard ship" It is true that tho zoning ordinance is bound to create cer- tain amount of hardship in that 1t restricts persons from using their property as they would like to use V in many instances and in this way l-also the market value of the proper ty Is affected. Nevertheless, this hardship is necessary and is counter balanced by the protection which the same property owners receive from the operation of the zoning or dinance. Any hardship is unnecessary when it Is an exceptional Instance and when an exception to overcome the hardship would not injure any of the purposes which the act was designed to secure. The state wide enabling act uses the words 'unrea- sonable hardship think the word
 unnecessary includes unreasonable ness,' It would seem that the en- forcement Of an unreasonable or un- necessary hardship would be uncon- stitutional. When the act itself con- tains the proper machinery for ren- dering the act constitutional in its enforcement, the act itself Is saved from being unconstitutional and l think that to accomplish this result was the main purpose of giving the authorities the right to make eScep- tions, thus providing a remedy for any abuse Of the police powers of the state as affecting rights of prop erty.
 "In regard to whether the phrase unnecessary hardship" applies to an applicant not yet the owner of the property in relation to which application for special exception Is made. l should say that 1t did not. His interest is prospective merely. If. however. he has leased the premises, or has acquired an op- ton of purchase. or has obtained contract from the owner of the property to sell him the premises, it would then seem that he was in the same position as the owner Of the property. SO That the effects of a strict enforcement of the zoning ordinance upon his property rights should be taken into consideration.
 Tn determining whether or not to grant said applicant an excep- tion, it would be proper for the board to take into account whether the hardship had not been absorb
