' ZONING BODY WORKING HARD ON PROBLEMS Building Regula- tions to beAnietuded*in the * Proposed Plan Zoning the city is a big problem. Members of the city zoning com- mission named recently by the city commission : ha’ beginning work on the problem. They also have found that it is an extreme- ly interesting problem, and one which offers great possibilities, according to members., found this out in The zoning commission will hold meetings each Friday. When they have progressed far enough to offer a ten- tative plan public hearings will be held and objections may be offered by people of this city, The commis- sion already has mapped out roughly a commercial district to, be included in the plan. : The commission now is engaged chiefly in obtaining information from other cities of like size to aid them in their work, Few such gities have zoning laws but many have building ordinances which closely approximate many problems to be found in the zoning proposals. It also has been decided to include building regulatiots in the zoning plan. Cities generally do this, it has been found by the commission, ac- cording to C. L. Young, chairman, The city now has no comprehensive building ordinance. Considerable work has been done on one by the city commissioners and others in the last two years but it has never been com- pleted. by Legal aspects of the zoning ' idea Iso are being given much attention. Members of the commission are C. L. Young, chairman; P. C. Reming- ton, J. P. Jackson, Getrge Will, Ben- A, Hughes.

The discussion; which rosulted* in no definite decision followed presen- tation by Secretary Wallace of a re- port on the world wheat conditions prepared at the request of Mr. Ceol- idge. Both plans, in the opnion. of the President, are worthy of considera- tion and as neither require action by Congress it was believed that the President has in no wise changed his mind against calling. Congress in special session. p Prior to meeting his cabinet Pres- ident Coolidge had a conference with Senator Frazier, Nonpartisan, North Dakota who has been active in a movement to call Congress to enact price stabilization legislature and other relief measures, Both proposals considered by the cabinet today have objectionable fea- tures in the opinion of administra- tion officials and ‘for that reason fur- ther consideration must be given them. In the reduction of freight rates it was pointed out that rail- roads which are earning only what Congress and the Interstate Com- merce Commission have adjudged a fair and reasonable profit would ex- pect increases in rates on some other commodities to make up for the loss- es suffered in transportation of wheat and flour. While ch in- creases might be possible it was also pointed out that some western roads depend almost altogether on freight charges on agricultural products for their income and therefore the method of compensation would be hard to determine.
