residential zones again will be taken
up The docket of the meeting, which
will be held at 10 am, June 5, was
published today.
There are nine requests for changes
in coming to be heard in addition to
the proposed change in the rules gov
elning residential zones. On account
of the Importance of the proposed reg
ulation, it has been promoted to the
top of the list, although the regular
practice is to hear motions for change
in the regulations after the neighbour
hood coming requests.
This matter was advertised for hear
ing at the May meeting of the commits
sion, but owing to the shortness of the
notice at that time, it was postponed
to allow those who wanted to argue on
either side of the question to arrange
their battlefronts. The change Spe-
officially calls for addition to section 3
of the coming regulations, which defines
the uses permissible in residential
zones of the following language: Fire
engine houses. police stations, and
pumping stations. Public Fairgrounds.
