To repeal zoning laws is as diff cult as repeating constitutional amendment, with the difference that nobody wants to repeal zoning law. This is the reaction one gets from the statement of Building In spector Rutherford that not one of the 500 cities which have adopted such laws has repealed them. Once applied, zoning sticks.

LAW WPROTECTSF|SH:
 CULTURE IN STATE
STATUTE, NOW IN EFFECT, AIMS TO PREVENT POLLUTION OF
 WATER

Two men have control of the con- struction of industrial plants on fresh waters in the State of Washington.
 And neither of these men have any connection with industry, nor are they officials in any State department controlling industry. They are the State directors of health and the State director of fisheries.
 According to the law passed by the last Legislature, before any industrial or manufacturing concern, the con- struction and operation of whose plant will necessitate the dumping of refuse or waste materials, substance or mat ters into any waters of this State, eith- CT fresh or salt, shall proceed with construction or operation, it shall sub- init for the approval of the director of fisheries and game and the directors of health, detailed plans for the dis posal of it's waste and refuse, and if such plans do not make adequate pro- vision for the safeguarding of fish and shellfsh, it shall be unlawful to pro- ceed with such plans"
 The law goes on to give such firms the right to appeal from the judg- ment of the director of health and the director of health and the supervisor of fisheries, by mandamus action, an expensive and long drawn out process.
 The bill was introduced by the Fish cries Department to safeguard the fish resources of the State. Dumping of sawdust, oil shavings, lime, grease, or any chemical substance, in any streams or waters of the State, is prohibited.
 The law became effective June s. It was thought necessary because of the construction of numerous paper and pulp plants, the waste of which are contaminating oyster beds and the beds of other shellfish.

By NORMAN E. BROWN

Meet Mr. Joseph Anderson, mid

Up to yet" he hasn't caused the
derby stewards any worry but he
has brought considerable fame 10
his native heath, heather and Mrs.
Anderson.
Anderson was going great guns
until he ran into one of those de
cisions apparently. in Los Angeles.
He took On Bert Colima, one of the
aspirants for the middleweigbt title
now boasted by Michael Walker.
Sport critics at the ring gave An
derson five of the 10 rounds, Coiima
four and called the other (the sixth
round) even. The referee however
decided that Colima had the better
of the argument and so expressed
himself Then the fans expressed
themselves.
Anderson has been on the coast
two or three months. He had won a
rep in Cincinnati, O., and envircns
before going in Greeley's direction.
Out on the coast he sought and got
matches with Joe Roberts and Lee
Lomski.
Now Roberts is the surprising
young man who knocked Joe Dun
dee flatter than a safety razor blade
in one round not so long ago. He
took on Anderson willie tuning up
for the bout with Dundee Andei
son tuned him.
Then there was Leo Lomski egg
ing for battle with Tiger Flowers
took Anderson on as a trial horse
Anderson beat him. Lomski beat
Flowers.
Lomski has knocked out Colima
which may or may not be another
IT'D off on the real outcome of the
Anderson-Colima battle.
Around his home diggins Ander
son draws credit for a technical k
0. over Pinkey Mitchell and has
slowed some other good fights un
der his belt.
Despite the disappointing out
come of the Colima battle Anderson
and his manager, Jimmy Dough
erty, want crack at Mickey's title
