This Is a large undertaking ns well ns a worthy one and may the object nought be attained! -Iirtsflyld has done well In promoting $lnj grounds for the younger gemmation, but In tills age thought i 'ing ghtn to the Usefulness of out-of door where older people may njoy -them selves and obtain healthful exercise and aTnujet.nent at the same time. IT IS TO T.E hoped that the present city government will make an earned effort toward the enactment of a zoning ordinance in Iittsfield. Zoning restriction by municipali ties are growing aJLovcr the country. When this idea first was brought but.

It encountered strong opposition. People at first could not disabuse their minds Of liellef that, if a man owned a piece of land, it was his, and therefore he had a right to use it as he But public opinion slowly is changing. It.lieg.in to dawn on the minds of thinking pcopljj that an owner of land ought not to use it in euclr a way as to damage his neighbor. Moreover, it began to be realized that land restrictions were to the advantage of landowners because a far greater number of them are benefited I than are harmed because of them. Zoning restrictions seldom if ever are condemned excepting where the element of selfishness creeps in.

Zoning 14 a protection and not an imposition on property rights. This issue has been tried out in the courts and declared constitutional, the courts holding that the system is ad-- vantageous to property owners. Petitions now' are before the city eountib asking that the property on streets in the neighborhood of the Memorial park on South street be restricted as to uses by Its owners, so as not to detract from the dignity that our pretentious and beautiful memorial gives to the entire neigh-lorhood. 1 Although a general zoning plan may bo contemplated, particular pome should bo. attended to at once, because it-can be done quickly while the establishment of a city wide may not5 materialize, agd even if if should, it will take a long time tp get it going.

Besides, the Memorial park area needs special restriction which would not be covered by a general ordinance. By making a beginning here tho ice would be broken for zoning restrictions in the entire city. Progressive cities, and even large towns all over the have zoning laws or iare considering them seriously and if; is only a question of time when Pittsfield will' fall in line. Tiierefore Why I not do now what wie know we" will dp sometime? If there' is to be any virtue in zoning 10 years from now, there is virtue in it right now. I I A Sj he is a hotel man lumelf, the TView-s of Congressman Treadway are unusually interesting.

At a 'recent meeting of hotel men when the matter oft, prohibit ion came up. Congressman Treadway said in substance Ythat so, long as prohibition is the law, hotel men shou.d respect it by efforts toward better enforcement and should refrain from becoming parties to either wet or dry propaganda. Ihirlng his long career as a hotel proprietor, Mr. Treadway ran a temperance. house.

An occasional guest would lake exception to this policy, but it" is a matter of, local history that the Bed Lion and its companion, Heaton Hall, never lacked their share of patronage nd made their owner a comfortable fortune even before the adoption of the prohibition, amendment to the constitution. In fact Mr. Treadway once said that he believed 'that it was better business not to sell inoxicants. Itcspectable hotel keepers for years told liquors in the' old days more because they thought they had to rather than jbecauatf they wanted to. At (the meeting above referred to, one hotel man said he was glad tha't prohibition had relieved the business "of the odium of selling intoxicants and that since he bad transformed his bar roonj into at coffee shop, he, had made mor money thafl he formerly did with his bait 'pIIB state will not rebuild tins the road from Country club south tq join the- new road to Lenox, burit two years ago.

Copies of the draft which hav reached here indicate that there is lit- I tie likelihood of Canada entering into an arrangement on the "St. Lawrence waterway project unless a trade treaty is combined with it. A number of reasons for this exist, but chief among them is the resentment against the Fcrdnej-McCumber tariff law. The Canadians feel that the American fanners never really benefited from that act any how.
