As the bride-to-be is but 16 years of age, M. J. Grant and May Grant, her parents, signed an af- fidavit to the effect that they gave their consent to the marri- age of their daughter. It is noted on the license that the ceremony will be performed by Rev. Arthur B. Dimmick, rec- tor of St. Paul’s Episcopal church. PENA’S GARDEN Tonight is another Big Dance} Night at Pena’s famous Garden Of Roses on Thomas street, and the same big crowd will most as- suredly be in attendance, accord- ing.to the managément. Gould Curry’s seven-piece band of talented musicians will furnish the music for dance lovers and many special numbers are plan- ned for the occasion. “Meet your friends” is a by-word truly worthy of a “large evening of fun-and frolic” when applied to these Saturday evening affairs at the Garden of Roses.

A So much, then, as to what zon- ing is and what it purposes to jdo. A specific case comes to |mind as I write: At the first) meeting of the Planning Board | | with the Mayor and Aldermen in my own city, many questions thority. Zoning, then, is action by a state or a city under, authority of the state, to control, under’ police power: } (1) The heights to which buildings may be erected; (2) The area of lots which must be left not built upon; and (3) The uses to which buildings and land may. be put. Or, more in detail, zoning is a| conscious, intelligent effort to di- rect the future development of a community by means of reason- able regulations based on health, safety and convenience, and the welfare of the inhabitants. Good housekeeping seeks ‘to: provide a place for everything, | and to keep everything in its place. Thus does zoning. And like wise business management, |it makes provision for orderly growth and industrial expansion. Existing buildings and existing uses are notaffected by zoning laws, for zoning laws are not re- troactive in any regard whatever. | But all new construction must go in an appropriate district. . In the words of another writ- er, “zoning stabalizes and pfo- tects property values and invést- ments. It divides a community into districts for residential, busi- | ness and industrial uses. It pro- tects the homes in residential séc- tions from loss of valuation due to encroachment of business or of industry.

Two weeks later a 20- \year private restriction ran out on ‘a row of apartment houses next to the Aldermen’s home. In- stantly an application for the Tight to build steres in two front porches came into the office of the Building Commissioner. Be- cause a temporary zoning ordi- nance was in effect, the blot never stained the escutcheon. And since that day the under- taking Alderman has been one of the city’s strongest adherents of zoning and a city plan.
