ZON|NG DEFENDERS
FIND WORK At END
$1,170 of Fund Is Returned
to ContributOrS-Court'S
Action Closes Case.

With the distribution of an un-
expended balance to its contributors,
the citizens committee on cooperation
in defense of the zoning law today
wound up it's affairs after success
fully defending the Districts zoning
law. A statement issued by John
Ihlder, secretary of the committee,
showed that $1,17044 of the original
fund of $2.0S2 has been returned to
the original contributors.
The committee was formed early in
1925 to aid in upholding the Zoning
law, the constitutionality of which
was attacked by Mrs. Annie Steer

a district zoned for residences only.
Personnel of Body.
1t consisted of George A Finch,
chairman; Mr.. Ihlder, B. A. Bowles,
Fred g. Coldren, Edgar b. Henderson
and Gen. Eli A. Helmick. Contribu-
tions were made by citizens assoCi-
ations and individuals.
The committee was prepared to
carry the case to the United States
Supreme Court, but this was not nee
essary due to decision of the Dis
trict Supreme Court in July, 1925,
holding that the zoning law is consti

then carried the case to the Court of
Appeals, in which it remained until
January Ia of this year, when they
asked that it be dismissed
Had the Supreme Court of the
District decided that the law was
unconstitutional, making it neces-
sary for the District to appeal" said
Mr.. Ihlder, 1--WE should have been
without the protection of the zoning
law for a year and a half, during
which time irreparable damage could
have been done.
Supreme Court Acts.
Consequently the thorough work
of the corpora ton counsels office
and the defense committees attorney
Edward M. Bassett. has been more
than justified" he said THE recent
decision by the United States Su-
preme Court upholding the constitut-
tionality of Zoning regulation proba-
bly, ends the danger of our local law
being again attacked as it was in
the Sherman case. Consequently, the
committee believes that the work for
which it was organized is finished"
The financial report of the COM
mittee revealed that only $91156 of
the $2,0S2 contributed to the fund
was disbursed. The major portion
went TO Mr. Bassett in the form Of
a retainer fee and expenses.

"All nine judges could be under

Court, who has made such a success

Of such a move would be countless.
Given so large a number of avail
able judges, the presiding judge could
centralize upon some portion of the
unfinished work of either court
which might need attention. In the
matter of jury trials it is believed
that four or five judges could be
kept constantly at their work until
1t was finished. 1t is notorious that
many of the requests for jury trials
are made only to postpone the evil
day, and that when the cases are be-
ing called readily and tried such re-
quests will number a small percent

an arrangement should not only clear
up the present situation, but should
bring about a speedy administration

Columbia sadly needs without incur

II this plan is adopted we believe
the request for two additional Police
Court judges suggested in our last re-
port will be unnecessary. In addition
we feel that the question of economy
gained in housing the two courts in
one building in the future should be
considered, The possible Objectionable
feature of having those attending the
two courts in one building might be
obVlated by having seperate entrances
for the two branches.
