981 CITIES HAVE
ZONING LAWS NOW
Kentucky, New Jersey and Vir-
ginia New States Adopt
ing Legislation.

The II municipalities that adopted
zoning ordinances for the first time in
1880 brings the total number Of zoned
municipalities in the United States to
93l, comprising a total population Of
more than 46,000,o00 people.
While coming authority, extending at
least to some municipalities. has been
granted in all States, additional coming
legislation was enacted in Kentucky.
New Jersey and Virginia at the 1880
legislative sessions, and other minor
coming laws were enacted during the
year in other States.
This 1880 coming legislation and the
coming ordinances enacted or amended
during the year are briefly discussed in
report entitled Survey of Zoning
Laws and Ordinances Adopted During
$780," recently issued by the Division Of
Building and Housing of the Bureau Of
Standards. A list of all Zoned munich
palities, grouped according to States, Is
contained in another recent report by
the division, entitled 'Zoned Municipali-
ties in the United States"
The 100000 people living in these
zoned municipalities equal more than 81
per cent of the total urban population
of the United States, and all of the 981
municipalities have adopted their ordi-
nances during the last Is years, accord
ing to the latter report.
One Of the interesting and significant
recent developments in the field of
coming is the fact that the smaller COM
munities of the country are turning to
coming. according to James S. Taylor,
chief Of the Division of Building and
Housing. Seventy of the n original Or
dinances adopted during 1880 were in
municipalities whose population is less
than 10000.
This is recognition, Mr. Taylor said
that the environment for work, play
and pleasant home life may be i'm
proved through the preventing of hurt
full invasions into the various coming
districts by incompatible uses.

PER CAPITA VALUE Of BUILDING PERMITS
IN so CITIES ON 1919 COST OASIS

volume Of building f1uctuated slightly
above and slightly below normal year
by year and no important SurpluSeS
or shortages developed. During the
war period and the years Immediately
following the volume of new construc-
ton fell to abnormally low levels and
large shortage developed, amounting
in the aggregate to the equivalent of
all the construction that would nor
mally be completed in about two and
half years. The pressure to make
good that shortage was one Of the slim
ulating forces that operated to lift busi-
ness and industry out of that depreE-
sion.
THE depression was at its worst in
1921, but the volume of building sharp
ly increased in that year. 1t continued
to advance until in 1925 new construc-
ton was going forward at a rate fully
so per cent above the computed nor
NAL. It then began decline that con-
tlnued until the volume for 1929 was
slightly below normal. BY that time
the great accumulated shortages of the
war and postwar period had been
made up but no important surplus had
been created. According to this show
time when our building needs had been
fully met.
New Shortage in Making.
Nov a new shortage is in the max
ing The volume of new construction
in these cities in 1880 was only about
one-half the normal amount. The fig
ure shown for 1881 is based largely on
estimates, but the prospects are that
the new building done this year will
not be greatly over one-third of the
computed normal volume.
1T now seems probable that when
this depression has run its course q
recovery Of business will bring a resto-
ration Of building to its normal activity
and 1t does not seem likely that i'm
portant increases in building will come
first and be effective in helping create
business recovery. The so cities from
which data have been taken for these
estimates include in their populations
about one-fourth of all the people in
this country

American business will set aside one
of its first shrineS this August with the
unwilling of memorial tablet marking
the foundation site of the 100000 900
building and loan business in Frankford,
Pa, now a suburb of Philadelphia. The

A marble boulder topped by bronze
plate, concentrating the contribution
of 5000, 900 owned homes to American
civilization by the building and loan
business, will be placed in a small park
directly across the street from the re-
mains Of Sidebotham's Inn. on Frank
ford avenue, Philadelphia. This inn was
the meeting place on January 3. 1881,
Of the leading citizens of Frankford
when they organized the oxford Provi-

building and loan organization in the
United States.
Thousands of financiers from Amer

unwilling ceremonies, according to r..
Hobby Myers, Los Angeles, president Of
the leagues, since the centennial gath

the United States will be held simulta-
neously with an international congress
OF those engaged in a similar business in

MASTER BUILDING
PLAN SUGGESTED
Cities Told How to Avoid Ac-
tivities' Delay When Bust
ness Revives.

Cities should adopt a master plan so
that with the revival Of business proper
building operations may not be delayed,
according to Charles H. Cheney, chair
man Of the Committee en- City and Re-
gional Planning of the American Insti-
tute of Architects.
Unfortunately, more than half of
the approximately 900 planning boards
in the country are just tinkering as yet
at amateur planning that IS generally
short-sighted and which sometimes is
even detrimental to good home develop
-ment," Mr.. Cheney declares.
Guiding Plan Of City.
1.-THE master plan or guiding plan, of
a city or region has now come to have
number of well recognized and eStab-
lished parts.
1.-THE major traffic street plan is usu-
ally the first part Of the master plan
developed. Perfection of home neigh
borhoodS is impossible without clear
differentiation between the few major
through streets and the minor local
streets. Families with children, elderly
people, and, in fact, almost all the
public now seek homes as far as posi-
BILE on dead-end streets or streets with
little or no through traffic.
"Zoning is the second important part
of the master plan. 1t provides funda-
mental protection for housing by eStab-
fishing appropriate areas in which the
use. height and bulk of buildings are
limited.
The transportation plan is the next
important part Of the master plan.
The school and recreation system
plan and the park and parkway system
plan generally form the fourth and fifth
parts Of the master plan. Sometimes
they are combined. They are intimately
and essentially related to every good
home reighborhocd.
Housing Code and Schemes.
THE housing code and constructive
housing schemes should be a definite
part of the master plan, and sometimes
are made the sixth section of it. No
city or region has completely solved its
problem until it has definitely provided
for the proper housing of its people,
particularly of those workers for lower
scales of wages who are least prepared
to take care OF themselves.
Civic centers, public and semi-public
building groups form the seventh part
Of the master plan.
Increase of the amenities Of life, es-
tabliShment of architectural control and
similar measures bearing largely on the
eSthetic form the last and perhaps the
most important part Of the master plan
of any city or region"

HUMAN RELATIONS SEEN
AS MANS MAJOR TASK
Robert D. Kohn, Architectural
Leader, Blames Advances of
Science for New Miseries.

Mans major tasks Of the future lie in
the sphere OF human relations, not In
science and engineering, declares Rob-
ert D. Kohn, president of the American
Institute Of Architects, contributing to
a symposium Of the Engineering Foun-
dalton on Benefits from Engineering
Progress" Every advance in science, he
points out. has brought about not only
closer relationships but fresh problems
and misories.
We live in an age of idiotic con-
trasts," asserts Mr.. Kohn, adding that
want exists amid plenty, and that those
who have an abundance Of material
things are spiritually starving. A new
art SuperimpoSed on material science
must be created with the whole world
as the field Of action, IN the opinion of
Mr.. Kohn, who is also president of the
Society for Ethical Culture
The complexities of modern science
are simple in comparison to the human
problems which this art will compre-
bend. according to Mr.. Kohn, who
thinks that the painful inefhciency and
injustice OF our present civilization is
a call to science to work out a new
vision Of human relations.

half of 1880, and $3.50, 100000 in the
like period of 1929. according to sur
vey by Indiana Limestone Co., and re-
ported in the Wall Street Journal.
The survey says, in part: I'VE have
now completed two-year cycle OF

time substantial volume Of necessary

past due. While activity of boom pro-
portions will not be witnessed this year

~ RAWTNG upon a study Of ex-
periences of the building In
dustry of the country dating
~ from 1900, the Cleveland Trust
Co. in a current business bull
letin issue, edited by Col. Leonard P.
AyreS, vice president Of the bank, finds
that new shortage Of new construc-
ton Is now "in the making"
During the depression period OF 10
years ago the Cleveland Trust Co. made
a study of building conditions in so
leading cities of the country concern
ing whether there probably existed a
shortage Of construction.
FluctuatiOn in Volume.
A diagram resulting from that study,
brought up to date, is reproduced here.
This, the trust company states, indi-
Gates that when the depression Of 1921
came into being there existed in the
cities a great accumulated shortage Of
building construction, but that when
the present depression came no such
general shortage existed
In the years before the war the
