"What the people wish is a zoning ordinance and they desire it at the earliest possible time." Hollanji claimed each of the past several administrations of Die city had discussed such an ordinance, but it was never ever brought to an actual passage stage. "Time is of the Holland remarked in closing, "because if the tavern is set up before the zoning ordinance, these good people will be affecled." Maurice II. I-Iubbs, 331 S.

Then the final bill would be submitted to the city council for passage. Councilman Edwin Bean, a resident of the area particularly involved, who was asked to com-i ment, said as a resident he was in complete accord with the petitioners, but as a member of the council it was his duty to proceed according to the law.
