fore Group in Executive
Session Today.

Three urgent demands for chanees
in zone classihcations and proposals to
amend the coming regulations were TAX
en- under consideration today at an
executive meeting of the District Zon-
ing Commission.
At another closed meeting last night
the body granted 10 applications for
changes in classification and disap-
proved IT The Commissioners were
aided in reaching their decisions by
testimony presented by interested eiti-
zens at recent building hearings.
Two Of the applications remaining
to be acted on have been selected as
containing plots suitable as a location
for the p@-2osed new children's home.
One Of these requests calls for the
changing from a restricted to a resi-
dental area the section southwest of
the 500 block of Sherrier place and
the railroad tracks. The other re-
quest would change from a residential

of Queens Chapel road northeast.

ton still is being held in allegiance.

The commission was expected asaI..
10 defer action on proposed amendments
to the coming regulations in order to
comply with requirements hat ii ad-
vertise its intention of considering such
changes. The body is in a position to
take nal action on one such amend
ment, but is believed to favor a pro-
posal sponsored by the Federation of

to light at the recent hearings.

to d proposed amendment which would

CINE houses being located in residential
districts. public hearings shall first be
held by the Zoning Commission in
stead of the District Commissioners. and
that police stations shall be located only
in commercial or industrial areas.
