Black, J.
(concurring). I agree with the majority opinion, noting specially that the minimally zoned lot size (30,000 square feet of area per lot) is not currently defended on ground that the municipal purpose is — in whole or in part — that of promoting disposition of sanitary sewage on the homeowner’s lot by means of a septic tank or tanks and properly installed tile fields leading therefrom; a purpose manifestly requiring much larger residential lots.
Such a purpose, if supported by due proof, might insulate a like ordinance from judicial criticism. I simply allude to it the better to limit the intended *103scope of our present determination that Troy’s ordinance, scrutinized in the light of all briefed and submitted issues, must fall as in the Christine Case.
O’Hara, J., took no part in the decision of this case.
