mendations for coming changes In

be held at 7:30 pm. tomorrow In

have been advertised and the map
showing the changes has been in the
Office of the city engineer for several
weeks, no one has asked to see the
map, according to City Engineer c.
Luckett Watkins. However, the
Planning Commission members and
city officials are hopeful that the
public hearing will be well attended
In view Of the many expressions Of
approval Of the reports proposals.
In general, the Planning Commits
sion recommends division Of the
present A residential zone classifica-
ton to include restricted zone in
certain areas, limiting construction
of apartments and row houses in
the northwest section of the city, in
creasing the areas zoned for two
family houses, centralizing the shop
ping districts, providing protective
screening for residential areas and
construction of three major parks
and parkways along the city's water
ways as well as small neighborhood
parks and three recreation areas In
the section.

mended the elimination Of spot

to fight polio began that Mrs. Mar

But the money she would have
gathered-even more probably-was
brought to the stand today, $50
given in her memory by the friends
and neighbors who remembered how
eager she had been to see that each
person was part of the drive.
Mrs. jamie Conrad, with whom
Mrs. Adams lived at GOT Seventh

Dor, Mrs. Dora Baum, took the
money to the stand.

remember her. Shed be so pleased
