Mayor Ernest O Thompson called a special city commission session to explain zoning. Voters will decide next Tuesday if Amarillo should adopt zoning with ballots reading For Zoning or Against Zoning. The commission cites 400 cities already zoning and says the measure will stabilize real estate values and guide orderly city growth.
The mayor argues that arranged debt accord and zoning reduce fire hazards cut traffic accidents aid in locating parks schools and playgrounds promote home ownership and stabilize tax values. It enables orderly planning of traffic lanes water sewer services and guards homes against undesirable businesses as the city submits the question.
Former U S Senator Joseph France of Maryland criticizes Washington administration over international financial crisis and German economic troubles. He brands policy as blind and failing while urging voters to reject zoning by city commission without public approval.
The report describes officials and representatives insisting the danger is past and the fire nearly out while urging leaders not to seek personal gain from national tragedies. A friend’s question about Hoover not seeking re-election is cited as implying stock market optimism and business improvement.
