example Of this is in the New York

such small groups.
The number of regional and county

at the close of 1882, an increase Oh 3
over 1881!
These facts are contained in a series
Evening star., 1933-07-17

Of reports Just issued by the Division
Of Building and Housing of the Bureau
| Of Standards The five reports cover
also surveys of State legislation on the
subjects of city planning and zoning
enacted during 1892 and contain lists
of the planning commissions as well as
lists of the cities and towns having
coming ordinances.
According to James 8. Taylor. chief
of the Division of Building and Housing,
the present time is opportune for cities,
towns and villages, especially those with
prospect of new construction. to ap-
point commissions for the purpose of
developing plans for their communities
and to prepare zoning schemes. The
existing condition of the building indus
try permits municipal ock-taking
with view to a control of land uses
and an ordered development when build
ing activities increase and reach normal
proportions. In those places In which
Zoning regulations are in effect a re-
vival of building can take place without
the annoying and uneconomic practice
Of Incompatible uses ShOuldering their
way into districts originally intended for
residence or other selected uses. Each
district is permitted to develop in &C
cordance with well conceived plan
which conserves realty values.
In the same way, Mr.. Taylor stated,
the working out of a city CT town plan
helps to insure that public buildings
which may be erected under the Federal
aid program, and new streets or by
pass routes which may be similarly
financed, will be placed to the best
advantage of the interests of the whole
community and will be 80 protected from
entertainments that future snsive
requirements or redesigning will be re-
duced to a minimum.
Planning and zoning activities re-
quiring and receiving the talents Of men
Of outstanding ability in their COM
munities can be carried on with a
comparatively modest budget, in Mr.
Taylor's opinion. Communities in which
these activities have never been under
taken might to advantage investigate
the subject thoroughly, as failure to
adopt city plan or coming ordinance
almost inevitably proves wasteful in the
Evening star., 1933-07-17

long run. Likewise, tn those places h
which these activities are being cur
tailed, it may be we'll to review the re-
duced budget to determine whether less
vital activities might not more economic
cally be temporarily reduced.
These are subjects in which the busi-
ness men CT community interested,
particularly at the present moment, in
obtaining a full measure of value for
each dollar of taxation may. with profit
both to themselves and their commune
ties. well afford to become sponsors, Mr..
Taylor says.

Kay was murdered-robbed and mur-

VIII never be solved. So, if we've talked
