Conlon from the office of Coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun of Hartford. The prosecutor will there- fore ask thatt he charge of reckless driving, under which Mataosian has been released in bonds of $1,500, be nolled. Burkhardt had stopped his car partly off the highway and had been drawing gas from the gasoline tank to fill a faulty vacuum tank. In do- ing s0, he hid his tail light and Mataosian, who was coming up be- hind him. railed to see the stopped machine and smashed his own car into it. Burkhardt was caught be- tween the two vehicles and crushed to death instantly. Dr. Charles W. Moody, medical examiner, found np criminal negli- gence in the matter, saying that Mataosian was exercising due care and that the crash was due to the hidden tail light. The state police, however, had taken over the mat- ter, and the driver was placed un- der bonds until a decision from the coroner could be obtained. Motorists P'ay Costs Charges of violation of the rules of the road against Earl C. Erkson of Plainville and Thomas Mekdeci of 3 Main street, Southington, were | {nolled on payment of costs this {morning when the men appeared in jcourt before Justice M. O. Ryder. | The two motorists had been arrest- led by Constable George {vesterday morning after their ma- {chines had crashed at Blossom's (corner. Each man said his machine | 20 | was not going over miles an { hour, to which Grand Juror Charles I. Conlon said, “You tellows never are.” Erkson testified he was more than half way across the highway when his car was hit by Mekdeci's. The prosecutor said the casc was a simple one which should have been settled between the drivers but that, since this had not bee done, the town could not be expect- jed to pay for the cost of its acting |as referce. He recommended nolles jon payments of costs and Justice Ryder accepted this as his judg- ||m nt. Costs came to $10.06 in cach case.

CALL Summoned 10 Assist in Defeating Pest of Bugs—Man Held On Stab- bing Charge—Dispute Over Fence | —Chamber of Commerce Notes. “Zoning and it's advantages’ was the subject of Campbell Scott, pre 1dent of the Tecknical Advisory cor- poration of New York, at a public ‘wmeeting in the city court roow last evening sponsored by the city plin- ning commission, which was at- «nded by representaiives trom nu ucrous civie organizations. oning was defined by the speah- as the establishment of restricted building districts under the author- ity vested in the police powers of | the state. Europe. he pointed out,| I had practiced zoning over a hundred vears ago while in this country, New ( York first gave the matter consider- | jation in 1817, In 1920 only fifteen| {or sixteen cities had followed New | ! York's initiative, in 1927 approxi- | ! mately 700 cities and towns ha ! profited by the example of the me- | tropolis and at the present time over | 11,000 communities have adopted a 1 zoning program. i Herbert Hoover, president-elect, | | was credited by Mr. Scott with ap- preciating the bencfits of zoning as far back as 1921. Mr. Hoover, ac- | cording to the speaker. was respon- | sible for the passage of the zoning ! or enabling act, which is also known | as the Hoover Act, and this has| {served as a model for at least 42 states. The enabling act of Connecti- i cut, it was pointed out, was modeled after the Hoover Act and provides for the creation of existing condi- | tions, to prepare a tentative zoning ordinance. Such zoning scheme must then be submitted to the public at cne or more public hearings for an «xpression . of opinion or criticism. | Tt is then provided in the act that after the tentative report has been submitted to the city council or governing Lody, the city council, be- fore taking action, may hold one or more public hearings. Following such hearings. the proposed ordin- ance must be advertised before it 13 made effective. Provides for Appeal The enabling act also provides for ! a board of appeals to consist of five men. This board is empowered to| modify or adjust, temper or vary tha | cxact provisions of the ordinance in individual cases to eliminate undue individual hardships. It also pro- vides that in the event a person 1s | denied a building permit for the reason that the building Inspector | believes such a building would ‘vio- late the zoning restrictions, the plicant may present his case to the | board of appeals. A public hearing would then be called and if the ap- ! plicant is again denied permit, he | may eeek recourse through tha courts. In no case can an applicant, | | who is denied a permit, secure dam. | ages from the city. The establishment of different 7ones, according to the speaker. works no hardships but rather | serves to the advantage of property owners for the reason that it stabi- | lizes property values. It also makes the work of the assessors easier and tends toward a fairer asscesment of ' property. Would Take Six Months At least five or six months would be required to zone the entire city, according to Mr. Scott. In his opin- fon it would be advisable to have at least three zones for residence—one testricted to one family homes, u second for two tenement houses, and possibly & third for the multi-fam- ily structures, such as apartment houses. One rone would probably care for the manufacturing plants and possibly one or two zones would | | i be required for the business section, | The speaker believed, however, that before a definite plan of zoning could be advanced, it would be ad- visable to make a thorough study of the entire city. Folowing Mr. Scott's address. (there was & round table discussion, in which questions were asked by the audience and answered by the speaker. No definite action was tak- en by the planning commission be- | tore adjournment. Freak Fire Call When in trouble, summon the fire | department—at least that would ap- | pear to he Rristol's slogan, when one stops to consider that the local | amoke-eaters have been called upon | 1o rescue cats from telephone poles, | to drive starlinzs from their roosts, in the trees in the residential sec- ition. and as in one instanee, to res- cue a man who had fallen into a! deep well. | | The latest complaint reeeived by Chief Hayes was an unusual one. ¥riday afternoon he was adviscd by the chamber of commerce that 4 1esident of Goodwin street had com- plained about thousands of bugw, which had crawled up the side of his house and apparently were en- deavoring to invade the sanctity of his home. Upou looking over the sit- uation, the chief arrived at the conclusion that the bLugs could be dislodged with water and the new LaFrance booster pump was pressed into service. The vermin were wash- ed to the ground where they were ilv dispatched with a strong disenfectant. A quantity of disenfect- ant was also placed :round the house to discourage any bugs which might appear later. Dr. B. B. Robbins, eity heaith of- ficer, who was called in on the case { by Chief Hayes, stated that the hug is known the spider ant. Its body is about three times as large us that of a black ant and its legs are long like a spider's. They live mostly in decayed logs or stone watls, accord- ing to the doctor. who is of the opinion that they may have arrived in the city in a carload of lumber, They are rarely seen in this vicinity, according to the doctor.

FPence Dispute Following the receipt of a letter from Judge Epaphroditus Peck, counsel for Louis Riemer, in & boun- dary line fence dispute between his client and Harry Stone of Washing- ton street, the city council has dey cided to invite both parties to pre- sent their sides of the case at the council meeting on Tuesday, Decem- ber 4. At a meeting of the city fathers on October 16, Councilman W. E. Hough of the fence committee in- formed the council that his investi- gation had satisfied him and the other members of the committee Lane whi |that Mr. Stone was correct in con- tending that he was responsible for the maintenayce of the northern " jsection of the fence. The following day both parties were notified of the jcommittee’s finding and the coun- cil's decision and the matter was thought definitely scttled until the communication was reccived from Attorney Peck. Mr. Licmer now con- tends that he can produce witnesses to substantiate his claim that the northern section of fence belongs ta him and not to Mr. 8tone.
