WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13,1919 Konilaorth Lad In " Zoning' * Idea; Officials Study La In Conference. "Zoning", recently made Hiotine' share of light, as will protect his | by ordinance in Kenilworth ,and now | ears from unseemly noise, his nose under consideration in other towns| "OM obnoxious smells, and his eyes on the north shore, ject of discussion the Morrison hotel, day and Wednesday, December 16 and 17. The conference is to be held under the direction of the Citizens' Zone Plan organization of Chicago. Officials of all north shore Villages have been requested to attend the sessions in Chicago as it is felt the question of "zoning", now Chicago's most important problem, will be a matter of serious consideration in every town in Cook county in the near future, The following detailed explanation of "zoning" should interest every pro- gressive resident of the north shore: "The term 'zoning' has come to mean the proper regulation of build- will be the ob-, ings in a town and its purpose is to! secure orderliness. in community de- velopment.

"Just as we have a place for every- thing in a well ordered home so we ing in a well regulated town. What would we think of a housewife who insisted on having her gas stove in the parlor and her piano in the kitchen. Yet irregularities like these are common in community house- keeping. In what city can't we find a gas tank next to a park, garages next to schools boiler shops next to hospitals, and stables next to churches? "In every town there should be a grouping of business and industries of a like nature insuring efficiency. If a factory intrudes in a business or residential district it greatly destroys the value .of the surrounding prop- erty. There has been annually in the United States a greater destruction in the value of buildings by the fail- ure to protect them. from the im- proper use of neighboring buildings than is caused by fire.
