SPONGE SALES
DURING WEEK

Few lots of sponge were offer
ed for buyers at the municipal
sponge dock yesterday. There
were 166 punches of wool and
eight punches of yellow.
Offerings were received on all
the lots and had prices been ac-
cepted the sale would have to-
tailed $287.41. However, owners
semeed to consider the prices for
certain lots entirely too small,
and the following offerings were
refused.
For 40 punches of wool, $ll9;
for 16 punches of wool, $56.31;
for three punches of wool, $2.35,
and for Is punches of wool, $50.
Hence the total sales amounted
to $7O.75.
There were two small sales
earlier in the week. One OF
Monday, which totalled SITS, ap-
proximately, and another of We'd
nesday, totalled $50.85.

nv Associated Press,

TORONTO, Canada, June IT,
German expansion in the former

cause industrial benefit for the
province of Canada if application
of a leading manufacturer in the
old nation meets with Canadian
consent.
Thomas Bata, head of the inn
mense shoe manufacturing con-
Germ bearing his name in present
Bohemian territory. has applied
TO the government officials of
Canada for permit to establish a
branch of his factory on this con-
ftinent. 1t would be necessary
! for permission to be granted APP
/ proximatley 200 technicians of
the main factory to travel to Can
ada to open the factory and it is
upon this, question that officials
are asked to pass. The workman
would be kept in Canada only
iong enough to establish the fac
tory and see that it was in eff

The cause for the shift of OPP

AWAIT ACTION
ON BLOCKADE
STATE DEPARTMENT AWAIT.
ING ADVICE ON BRITISH
REPRISALS
my Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, June 17-Of-
ficials of the State Department
are eagerly awaiting advice of
contemplated British economic
reprisals against Japan in antici-
patton that the United States
will arrange similar action, al
though, it is stated, this nation
will treat the subject with ex-
IRENE caution in that no territory
in the blockaded foreign conces-
sions in China is involved in the
present British-Japanese diff
ficulty.
Alleged mistreatment of Ameri-
can nationals in the Tientsin and
Shanghai areas, however, in
causing some concern here, and it
is expected that should Britain
furnish the lead, that government
officials will proceed economic
reprisals with strong protesta-
tions against the blockade.
Japan still holds a rigid block
ade, however. Food supplies are
running short No advice has
come forth as to whether British
warships will be ordered to bring
in food to the concessions,
though it is felt that this action
will come soon should the block
ade still hold over the weekend.

Boston, nearly three centuries
old, adopted coming in 1915. Key
West has just begun to reach for
her crown of glory. Many times
she will stumble and will fall,
but if Key West in these forma-
ton days will adopt a coming
ordinance, fathered by capable
citizens, carried forward by a
Planning Board of practical men,
furtured through the early stages
of her speeding gro, h with
judgement and with care, she can
and will in the afterglow become
a city of business and of homes,
paradise on earth, thing of
beauty and a joy forever-a JOY
TO the generations yet unborn.
In Massachusetts, it was neces-
sary to have adopted a constitu-
tional amendment, providing that
the General Court shall have
the power to limit buildings ac-
cording to their use and con-
struction to specified districts of
cities and towns. 1.-THE voters
passed this referendum more than
z to l. In Boston city this vote
was over four to one.
1t took three years to thus far
the way. The next step
was the delegation of this power
specifically to local municipal
ties. For this purpose second
let was proposed and passed, an
enabling act, giving to cities and
towns the authority to establish
coming bylaws and ordinances,
lin such manner as will best pro-
mote the health, safety, con-
venience and welfare of the in
habitants", etc.
This authority was delegated
under the police power" of the
Commonwealth and that is the
same authority under which fire
regulations and building laws
operate. There is, therefore, no
compensation to individuals on
account of such regulations with
the regard to development or use
of property.
Zoning is a proper exercise of
police power. Numerous court
decisions have well established
this fact in various cities of the
United States. The Massachu-
sets state coming enabling act
was not alone held to be in ac-
cord with the state constitution,
but also was found to conform to
the constitution of the nation. The
Supreme Court decision furthed
said:
The segregation of manufac-
turing, commercial and meTcan-
tile business of various kinds to
particular localities, when exer-
cised with reason, may be thought
TO bear a national relation to the
health and safety of the COM
munity. The suppression and
prevention of disorder, the extin-
suishment of fire and the en-
forcement of regulations for
.treet traffic, and other ordin-
ances designed rightly to pro-
mote the general welfare, may be
facilitated by the establishment
Of zones or districts for business
as distinguished from residence"
Following the enactment of the
necessary permissive legislation,
the City Planning Board sub
mitted to the mayor a compre-
hensive city plan. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that authority
for coming in Boston is direct in
that it comes from the people
themselves by referendum vote
on constitutional amendment
safeguarded and protected al
every step by Illegal opinion

pie. by the people and for the
people.
