WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1925 URGE DELAY IN lay in taking preliminary steps to pre- pare for the final enactment of such ordinances. Chicago Amends Message "The City of Chicago is preceeding ZONING CHANGE with amendments to its zoning ordi- Regional Planning Associa- tion Advises Temporary Halt in Amendments AWAIT EVANSTON CASE Expect Decision of Supreme Court in April North shore villages were this week advised by the Chicago Regional Plan- ning association not to take final ac- tion in amending their zoning ordi- nances until after the April term of the Illinois Supreme court, at which time the now celebrated Aurora zoning case will be presented for re-hearing. "As a matter of service to the com- munities in the region of Chicago the committee on legislation of the Chicago Regional Planning association has given study to the effect of the recent decision of the Illinois Supreme court in the Aurora zoning case," reads the association's notice. "It seems that several of the cities and villages in Illinois are at work on amendments to their ordinances to make them conform to the decision. Divergence of Opinion "There is a divergence of opinion in regard to the exact meaning of cer- tain parts of the decision. "A petition for re-hearing of the case is being presented to the Illinois Supreme court and will probably be acted upon at the April term. The court has before it another zoning case, this one from Evanston and a decision in this case is expected at the April term. "In view of the petition for re-hear- ing in the Aurora case and the pending Evanston case it is suggested that no final action be taken by city and vii- lage councils in amending existing zoning ordinances. It is also sug- gested to those cities and villages which are preparing ordinances that their final action be deferred until the pending cases are decided, but this should not be construed to advise de- SIX LAKE SHORE AUTO SALES Sales Room and Service Station 1010-16 Chicago Ave., Evanston, Ill. nance so as to change all blocks con- taining non-conforming uses to the zones in which those uses are per- mitted. "The committee feels that most of the cities and villages of the region do not immediately need to go to the ex- tent that the City of Chicago has done, and that the weight of advantage is in favor of delay until the decision of the State Supreme court in pending pro- ceedings." In the much-discussed Aurora case the State Supreme court held that where, in a section of one classifica- tion, there was established a structure of another classification, other struc- tures of the non-conforming classifica- tion could not be prohibited. For example, if there is established one commercial structure in a section zoned residential, other commercial structures cannot be barred from that section. May Nullify Law The action of the court is thought by many zoning experts to virtually nullify all zoning ordinances. Others, however, feel that the decision is not significant. The Evanston case in question in- volves a test of the validity of the entire zoning idea in that it pertains to the question of whether a strictly res- idential area, comprised entirely of single dwelling homes, shall be thrown MARMON MARMON NORTH SHORE SALES and SERVICE 1008 Davis St. Greenleaf 1038 Open Every Evening until 9:30 open for apartment buildings, which | from every community in and about] institute will be held at the health are now restricted to definite areas. | Chicago. center at Evanston City hall, Davis N ; : : street and Sherman avenue, on Thurs- Robert Kingery, of Winnetka, is sec- : p day, April 9, and Tuesday, April 28. retary of the Chicago Regional Zomn- INVITE TO HEALTH MEET This will be in charge of the public ing association, which comprises in The regular health conference con- [health nurse for this community, Miss its membership leading representatives ducted by the Chicago Tuberculosis | Helen Norcross. ; 13 0 NOTICE OF ELECTION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on the 11th day of April, 1925, an election will be held at the Horace Mann School in Winnetka, School District No. 36, in Cook County, Illinois, for the purpose of voting "for" or "against" the following proposition: The proposition to issue bonds of District No. 36 to the amount of FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($40,000.00) for the purpose of erecting an addition to the Hubbard Woods School, which bonds shall be dated the first day of May, 1925, shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed 475% per annum, payable semi-annually, and shall be due and payable as follows: May 1, 1938 May 1, 1939 ........ 3,000 May 1, 1940 ......:. 3,000 May 1, 1941 -.. ........ 3,000 May 1, 1942"... .. ... 3,000 May 1, 1943 .......... 3,000 May 1,°1944 ........ 3,000 May 1,:1045 ......... 20,000 The polls will be opened at one o'clock p. m. and closed at six o'clock p. m.
