Township Village Cooperation
Needed for Successful Zoning
Planners Told
Law Must Serve
Coming Years

Municipal Zoning efforts might
be negated if areas surrounding
the village do not cooperate in
zoning plans, members of the
Bluffton planning commission
were told last week when they
met with the Allen county plan
ming commission.
AdoL ton of zoning and plating
codes for rural fringe areas is the
best method of insuring success
for the villages own proposed
code, the Bluffton planners were
told.
Cooperation of township author
tiles in adopting codes which do
not clash with village regulations
would be almost a requirement.
Larger cities can enforce their
zoning regulations within three
miles of their corporation limits,
but all Zoning authority granted
Bluffton officials ends at the cor
poration lire.
Under these conditions it would
be necessary for Orange and
Richland townships to adopt zon-
ing laws to coincide with the eff
forts of Blufton planners.
There is no way of requiring
the townships to adopt zoning but
with this information in mind
village officials may consider a
cooperative zoning plan with
township trustees.
Members of the county COM
mission pointed out that it is not
necessary to zone an entire town.
ship and the trustees could es-
tabliSh zoning regulations in any
area OF the toWnSnlp.
Richland township trustee es
have been studying zoning for
several months, in response to re-
quests from numerous rural resi-
dents for control of growing resi-
Dental and commercial districts.
Richland trustees have already
indicated their willingness to CO..
operate with the Bluffton plan
ming commission and the village
council in adopting zoning and
plating codes.

ing and a brief survey of the AL

BE Frosh Class
Expected To Be
Second Largest

With applications totaling more
than 160, this falls freshman
class at Bluffton college is like
ly to be the second largest in
the history of the school.
The Bluffton College Bulletin,
official monthly publication of the
college announced the prospects
for the large class. Since a de
olson has not yet been made on

cants, and since some always
withdraw late in the summer,

number only by the freshmen
class of 1916, at the conclusion of
World War II, when many vet

Work on Buttons new bowl
ing alley is moving ahead rapid

by early September.
Most of the plastering and cleo
trical work has been completed
