'EXCHANGE CLUB HEARS RUTHERFORD ON -ZONING Building Inspector Outlines Requirements of City Ordinances and New Law—Defends System As It Exists. Building Inspector Arthur Rutherford addressed the New Brit- ain Exchange Club last evening on the subject “Zoning.” Mr. Ruther- ford denled implications that he was an “expert” and as warmly contested the idea that he was an “orator,” stating that he was only going to make a few remarks on his idea of the zoning laws. His address was as follows: “While T appreciate the fact that A person should be able to discu: these matters openly and fearlessly I nevertheless recognize that m other men besides myself are engag- ed in the administration of the af- fairs of the city and cannot nor do T mean to in my remarks have vou believe that the building department is by any means the most important department of the city. I do how- aver, wish to leave with you the part that this department plays in the running of the city. “That cities must have regulations governing the erections and alte tions of buildings is a recognized fact. When a town is small it is thought regulations for bhuilding construction seem unne ry for the reason that the amount of con- struction would probably not war- rant the expenditure of money necessary for enforcement but as time goes on small towns are realiz ing the necessity of town planning and regulations of building con- struction by building and zoning ordinances. First Inspector Appointed. “Thirty years ago New Britain's st buiiding inspector was appoint- ¢d and previous to that, regulation of building operations scemed to have been carricd out through the common council and this method of | eontrol continued more or less for bout fifteen years. “The building inspector in the carly years of building regulatior in this city, was not only the bu ing Inspector but was the plumbing inspector, fire marshal, ete. As time went, on many changes wer made and today we have the build- | ing commission composed of five members created by the legislature in 1921 who appointed a building inspector, plumbing inspector and an electrical inspector. “Our department for the year eunding April, 1927 collected enough fees to make the department self- sustaining and the only départment in the city that did not cost the tax- payers one cent to maintain. This has been brought about by those in authority setting a scale of fees that ,would not work a hardship on the individual constructing a building but at the same time a large enough sum to support the department. “I belleve now that the city should raise the fees if necessary to provide more thorongh inspection than is now given by the size of the forea we have.

Zoning Adopted. “Within the last few years zoning of cities has been attempted and in a great many cities has been adopt- ed “New Britaln saw fit to adopt oning ordinances in September, 1625, not quite two years ago. After many public hearings on the matter and after a great deal of study and { work on the part of a large commit- and finally of the ordinarce committea of the common council, | zoning became effective, and with the exception of very few instances has proven a success. Like many other radical changes we experienc- ed some little difficulty in the first few months the law was in effect, Lut very little trouble is experienced today. T believe it becomes more convineing each day that zoning does not prohibit but does regulate and ujtimately work out as a pro- teotion ior all properties whether they be In a husiness, industrial or residence district. i n y from today the hene- f oning to the city or any other city wdll have become apparent, and I venflire the opinion today that if any attempt was made to eliminate zoning by the people’s vote that it would be overshelming defeated, for T believe that zoning has proved a success in this city in the short time it has been in effect. Zoning ordi- nances will prove successful for many reasons. A person building to- day wants protection to his property and he gets it through zoning. How does he get it? He gets it first of all because the district in which he lives whether it is for 1-2 or 3 or business district. If the rict is zoned for one family house his neighhor must have proper set hack for his building, proper side ards, proper rear vards, and first |of all must have sufficient area of lot to ercct his house upon. Sometimes we hear it sald that | some fellow gan build anything he wants to but T assure yon that this {ts furthermost from truth as any | citizen can appeal from amy permit granted, to the board of adjustment d prevent the construction of any building, so that the zoning law not only governs through the huilding department the type building to be erected but gives the public the | means whereby the construction of a awful building can be pre- s of Regulation of City | The speaker briefly touched upon some ofthe more important regula- | Nons, as follows: “Before the erec- tion of any structure used for re | dence purposes it is neces: have sufficient lot area as in a one family district a lot must contain uare feet; the side vards of rict are regulated as in the lo ly district, 30 per cent of the lot must be left open and small in other districts. vards are required for set back on building blished in residence each district; lines zoning.

But be- ing city officials we expect to be abused, and if a day went by without it we might think something seri- ously wrong. But I would not lead you to believe by this that we have a great deal of complaint regarding the law, as many persons express | satisfaction with the law when they learn that stores or public garages cannot bé erected adjoining them, 50 that any complaints we recefv- ed regarding the law are offset many | times by the individual that wel- comes such a law. Zoning regulates and does not prohibit. Ordinances Specity Materials “The building ordinances also regulate more or less as zoning does regarding for areas, etc, but goes still further being the specification of materials to be used in she con- struction of the building regulating thickness of walls, sizes of timhgr, ete. This part of the bullding law en- forcement is the one that is probably as important to the owner of the building, if not more so than any law governing the erection of build- ings, for while zoning governs the type of buildings to be erected the building ordinance governs the ex- penditure of money, and this there- fore becomes the important part of the whole affair. In 1914 our build- ing ordinances allowed the erection of large frame tenement houses creating one of the worst fire haz- ards possible to imagine, especially in crowded tenement districts. So many of these types of buildings were being constructed at that time all over the city that it became ap- parent that action should be taken to prevent our city becoming a city of large frame tenement houses, and in that year an ordinance was enacted preventing the erection of these structures, and from that time until the present time we have been continually at work enacting build- ing ordinances that would meet the requirements of the city of our size, and T believe that today we have a very good set of building ordinances. “When in 1914 the elimination of large frame structures was proposed an immense amount of opposition was heard, but I belleve that anyone opposed to the enactment of such laws at that time are fully convinced today that these regulations have proven their worth and the ordi- nances we have recently enacted will also prove their worth when sufficlent time has elapsed. “When mention is made of cer- tain requirements regarding build- Ing laws, that is a state law very lit- tle opposition appears, for they realize that any attempt of the indi- vidual to have the law changed means some work and a task prob- ably useless to attempt, and T be- lieve that the time is not far off when all building laws will be state | laws and in this way will bring about | uniformity of construction through- out the commonwealth. HOUSES ARE TORN TO KINDLING Wo0D Saceo Sympathizers Blamed for Mine Blasts Joplin, Mo., Aug. 10 (P—At le six persons were fnjured by flying glass, two homes demolished and scores of others unroofed or other- wise damaged by a terrific explosion of dynamite in the heart of Picher, Okla,, a mining town southwest of here, late last night. Authorities expressed the belief that the dynamiting was the work of a radical in protest of the sched- uled execution of Sacco and Van- zetti, although they admitted they had no proof to that effect. There 18 ‘a known radical element in the mining field, however, police said. Several residence garages in a ra- dius of three blocks of the expiosion were blown over; hundreds of win- dow glasses in the business section were broken and furniture in home near the scene was toppled over sl shaken by an earthquake. Flying glass in & church two blocks from the scene inflicted superficial injuries to at least six persons in the congregation. Every window in the building was demol- ished and the structure shaken. A girl, 2 years old, was the only onc taken to-a hospital for treatment. Approximately 150 pounds of dy- namite was ignited, according to O. A. Sneed, manager of the Vantage ) Mining Company, on whose property | the explosion occurred. The mine | is almost in the heart of Picher, two blocks west of Main street. The dynamtle was in the powder magazine, and it would have been | impossible for it to explode unless | it had been set, Sneed said. Sneed also was of the opinion that the ex- plosion was the work of Tadicals. Loss of life was averted only be- cause persons living in the two wrecked houses were away.

GOODRICH IN CELL ON FRAUD CHARGES New-Haven Man Arrested on Re- tarn From Yermont New Haven, Aug. 10 UP—Nelther prosecuting nor defense being ready to proceed with the preliminary hearing in the case of William B. Goodrich, president and treasurer of Goodrich and Company, Inc., in- vestment brokers, charged with technical idleness was continued in city court today until Saturday. The bail of $25,000 set last night for Goodrich was continued. It i3 understood that complaints specifying the charges against Good- rich are being drawn yp based upon the allegations of individuals who were customers of the concern, Goodrich returned from Vermont last night and was arrested upon his arrival in the station here. The charge against him was a holding one, and today it was sald that it | would not be altered until the city attorney's office had prepared new papers. No one came forward this morn- ing to provide bail and Goodrich not only stayed in a cell last night tut appeared to have in prospect a stay until after his hearing. There was no general information as to the alleged frauds in conduct of the brokerage business of the concern, it being estimated that amounts due $150,000 and upwards. The clientel of Goodrich and Company is said te have been extensive and included a number of other concerns which go into the market for investment se- curities. All papers have been empounded by Chief of Police Smith and until auditors have worked on these end the books it is said that figures of the approximate totals of alleged misused funds will not be available. Goodrich this noon said that he had friends who were trying to ralse the bail money. He also said that the estimate of alleged mis of funds made by the police was far too high, that it would not be over $75,000 in his opinion, and that there would have been no trou- ble had he had six weeks more in which to staighten out accounts. Goodrich said that had he been able to work out his plans he would have paid every cent he owed within a short time.
