Alderman Merriam argues for city council authority to create building zones separating factories from homes to protect children. He cites high child deaths in congested districts and says zones would reduce accidents, lower fire hazards, improve air quality, and raise property values. District segregation could also promote orderly industrial growth and better home life.
