NEW FIRST CHURCH
 ZONE CONSIDERED
Adjustment Board Looks Favor ably on Proposed Exceptions

Although formal action was not taken by the board Of adjustment on requested exceptions to the Zoning law which would make 1t possible for the First Church society to carry through its plan to erect d group or parish buildings al West Main and Lexington streets, members Of the board last night found no objection 10 applying the spirit of the zone act rather than strictly Interpreting its provisions.
 Because exceptions must bf taken advantage Of within go days after they are voted, and it is not the con- grtgation's plan 10 build within that period, formal action has been de- ierrei by 'he board.
 The plans were examined by Clerk Thomas Linder and found 10 conflict with the provisions on sel- backs and proximity 10 lot lines, this being the result Of irregularities III the plot. It is the congregation's $ plan to spend about S40o, 0D0 on the group of buildings which, members of the board agreed. will greatly beautify the district, and with this fact in mind the board members agreed that the exceptions should be allowed and erection of the church and auxiliary buildings en- couraged.
 Secretary Linder reported having attended adjustment board meetings in several other cities to study their mode of operation and that, in his opinion, the procedure here. both as 10 preliminarics and as 10 conduct ot meetings is far superior to any he has seen.
 The following matters were dis posed or by the board.
