Zoning Bill Proposals Spark Resident and Council Debate
The council discussed changes to the zoning ordinance affecting East Washington Street and Highland Avenue, seeking to extend business districts and adjust residential rules. Residents and merchants voiced opposing views on the 15 percent rule and yard width, while planning officials argued the rules protect rear properties. Council members urged delaying revisions to assess impact on other sections before proceeding.

Woman Lenient Toward Illiterate Slayer Of Husband
A first degree murder charge was filed against James Mercer of Steubenville for the October killing of Harvey Geist, head of Zane Shoe Company. Mercer, arrested November 22 in Parkersburg, has proclaimed his guilt repeatedly and is described as very illiterate. Mrs. Geist, widow, told reporters she does not want Mercer electrocuted and believes her husband would share that view if alive.
