EVANSTON WILL AID ZONE LAW Council Vote. $500 To Fiaht Aurora Cue In State Supreme Court CITY'S FATE INVOLVED Gothamite, Father of Plan, To Appear In Suit Legal talent is to be furnished by the city of Evanston to assist the city of Aurora and other municipalities having a zoning ordinance, m the defense of a suit in the supreme court of Illinois. An ordinance was passed by the council last week authorizing Corporation Counsel Frank T. Murray to obtain the assistance of Horace K.

The presentation of the ordinance by Alderman Edward K. Hardy, chairman of the judiciary committee, threw the council into a discussion on the advisability of engaging expert talent to assist other municipalities in upholding the zoning law. Corporation Counsel Murray explained that the pending suit was a test case in the supreme court, and that the ruling would have a vital effect on other cases now pending in the lower courts. Aurora's case is the result of a property owner desiring to build a store building in an exclusive residential district. The case has been fought through the · lower courts and the property owner has carried it to the supreme court. The mayor of Aurora has asked other municipalities having a zoning ordinance to assist in defending the constitutionality of the zoning laws of Illinois. The case has brought forth such widespread interest from rt;a~ tors, property owners, and muntctboard has puf 1ts legal staff mto the fight, and the city of Aurora has ~n gaged, in addition to the corporatton counsel, Edward M. Bassett, of New York City, known as one of the fathers of the zoning law. Mayor Harry P. Pearsons expressed his opinion that if the city of Aurora lost its case in the supreme court, Evanston need go no farther ~n defending the validity of the ordmance against property owners whose charges are now pending in the lower courts. palities, that ..the..
