In a court hearing on the

Judge Waddell overruled a mo-
ton by county attorneys to dis
miss the case brought by 81
landowners. The property hold
ers are conteSting the amend
ment which restricts lot sizes to
a two-acre minimum in the
western two-thirds Of the county
Contradiction Seen
"There is a very serious ques-
ton of law involved as 10
whether a coming authority can
in one breath say You can use
this land for residential purposes
and in the other breath say we
are going to force the residents
to go into one part Of the
county" the judge said.
Under the Freehill amend
ment. urban development would
be permitted only in the eastern
section Of the county.
1T seems to be an attempt Ia
the effect there will not be any
development in this area (the
western section) under the 2-acre
provision" he said. Certainly
the action they (the Board OF
County Supervisory have taken
is inconsistent with the text Of
the ordinance. The ordinance
says on its face you can have
=. residential use. which includes
subdivisions, but the practical
effect Of the ordinance by this
restriction is to say you cannot
have residential subdivision" hi
said.

Monday is expected to end today

yesterday that development Of
