Jf tte Mayor veios the two ordl- anew passed last night-- one repeal- iK the old ordinance and the other zoning the entire city the council IM expected to override the veto at the regular session on July 5. Councilman Frank Elliott de- rllned to vote on the new ordin- ance on the grounds that he had not reail It. He voted "no" on the i ostlon of repealing the old sec- tion of the ordinance. Tile council voted after an hour- oiig discussion In the Mayor's o(- i Councilman Luther Broom Hoy N. Knight, J.

G. Hellane, and llelvin C. Jennings voted to repeal old ordinance and enact the ordinance zoning the entire city. The action was taken In execu- ive session that followed the two lour public hearing In the Councl Chamber whore representatives of 1 10 Antietam Distributing Company iresnnUid petitions bearing the names of 1,030 adult residents the northeast section stating that hey bad "no objection to the pro- losed shopping center at Northern and the Lelterehurg 55 persons attendee the hearing, Attorney Lloyd Kuhn, represen ing thB North End Improvemeni Association, a group of citizens op loucd lo the shopping center, pre- sc ited a petition bearing the names if 666 properly owners asking the northeast section of the city be a i a i for residential use only had contended that the peli Ion presented by 'Attorney Francis T.

Braytcn charged that Kuhn had 10 rljrht to question the "integrity" if the young ladies. Kulm, after hearing Attorney Trnpr agree to accept his figure the number of signers ou the iorth End property owners' peti- ion, told the council that It Is more cf a question of quality than is quantity." He said that there are between ,100 and 2,200 adult residents of section One and that It the figures by his group and the group were to "jive then here must he about 4.000." Attorney Urner, who was last to ddress the council, reviewed the of the City of Hagerstown Ince 1910 and asserted that the uirtlieast section of the city is inally bound in. "You have only a small segment jf land in the northeast corner that not suitable for residences. Velther Justice nor equity calls for sllmluating this plan" (shopping Reviewing the growth of tlie irlnclple of zoning and the patterns ollowed in the growth of cities, Jrner charged that "zoning cannot MI it everyone.

It Is belatedly to Hagerstown and it Is "ertnln to make controversy." Making reference to Attorney Cnhn's representation that tlie zoning ordinance passed last Oeto- le.r should not be changed, Urner BUY YOUR ft A 1 A From OUSHWA'S i Phone 2200 and Get THE BEST naia "the suggestion that as ordin- ance once passed Is Inviolate is a false premise, "The council can make, amend and repeal an ordinance and it has the solemn obligation to do so If public Interest dictates that course. "I object to the suggestion Uiat the northeast residents have not had a full hearing. The council is using the last ounce of fair play and Is recognizing the last technicality that can be raised agalnat them." Urner told the group that "zon- ing is for the future; you cannot correct the Injustices ol lie past, and we are living In the future." described the city aa being like a pie cut br railroads. Before the year 1910, he said, there was no North End develop- ment because people did not have the means of transportation of living far from their place of em- ployment or business, but with the coming ol transportation (the auto and the trolley) the people moved out. Then the courts decided that It wag reasonable to restrict the developments within cities, but there is nothing in zoning that can destroy what already exists." Urner told the assemblage that the "residents ot the northeast section do not have a compelling case" in, opposing the shopping center.

He pointed that of the three householders close to the propos- ed center, two of them signed the petition favoring the shopping center. The former city attorney assert- ed that the ordinance proposed lost fall by Zoning Engineer Jeffer- son Grinnalds makes special pro- vision for a shopping center in that the buildings may not occupy more than 25 percent ot the ground area, that both the schematic and architectural plans must be approved by the Zoning Commis- sion and the City Building Inspec- tor. He stated that the ordinance pased last October 5 (while he was city attorney) was a stop- gap ordinance that was obvious- ly slated for discard. CIO director Brayton In his ver- bal clash with Attorney Kuhn as- serted that "anyone can get any- one to sign a petition," adding ibat the people are going to have to think ol the zoning problem as whole and not as fulfilling the wishes of a "select few." Attorney Kuhn made reference to the fact that the council Is em- powered to enact a zoning law that would control building activities or a distance of a mile outside he city limits. Brayton then ask- ed that all persons living within a mile of the city he 'given a chauce to express their views.

City Engineer Charles Stein- bach, after opposing sides attempt- ed to recite their versions of the views of Zoning Engineer Grin- nalds, told the council that Grin- nalds was impartial on the shop- ping center question. F. H. Cost. 1101 Potomac Ave- nue, one of the spokesmen for the North End residents, asserted that lersous who own homes in the orth End have "tremendous sums" of money invested In them.

Cost said he was "heartily in avor of using the Municipal Golf bourse as a si(e for shopping cen- er with the removal ot the golf Inks to the city farm site off the Frederick Road. He said there are good roads leading to the pres- ent golf course and the site lends tself to expansion. He said he assisted In distrlbut- ng the petition in the North End against the shopping center "and I received signatures from husbands whose wives signed the other peti- tion earlier In the day." Roy Danzer. 1319 Oak Hill Avo- nue, stated that he has been op- posed to a shopping center from the beginning, that the zoning of area for a center would be as taxation without representa- tion. In his plea to the council in which he occupied the floor for an hour or more, Attorney re- ferred to the plan for the location of a Catholic school the vicin- t4y- of the shopping center and contended that a commercial cen- ter would result In traffic hazards for children.

He referred to the case of the taxi garage on West Franklin Street which was opposed last year by the Mayor and Council. but which was erected after the owner went to Circuit Court. Addressing himself to Council- man J. G. Hellane, Kuhn pointed out that Hellane was opposed to garage on the grounds of the dan- ger to children, Kuhn charged that ths drawing of the proposed shopping center Phone Union And Company Trying For Agreement Richmond, VSL, June Chesapeake and Potomac Tele- phone Company and the CIO Com- munications Workers of America began another round of contract ne- here tod By.
