MRS. D. A. SCOTT TAKEN BY DEATH Iowa is one of these, and Iowa cities are at present shaping their ordinances under this standard act. Nearly one-fourth of the population of the United States is living in cities which have been zoned along these lines.

Benefits All People Another point brought up by A. A. Chenoweth was that it was a mistake to think that city zoning is parteiularly for the benefit of the wealthy people with fine residences. As a matter of fact, he said, zoning is more beneficial to working people in less pretentious dwellings because of the requirements imposed upon the builders, to provide adequate yards and sufficient sunlight. Unsanitary and unhealthy conditions would not be permitted, as such regulations look to the health and well being of all the people of any city adopting them.

Mayor McKinnon stated that the welfare of the city demands a zoning law and that it has been needed for many years. R. F. Pettigrew spoke in favor of the law and urged a city pianning measure along with it. The proposition will next be brought up at a meeting of representatives of cities to be held at Huron Dec.
