amendment of the Volstead law and
will, if elected, vote and work for
such amendment. In my use of the
(nalifying word 'sane' in this con

mean amendment that seems over

experience which the people in every

"I would oppose a,iy amendment
looking toward the rr-f Ublilinirnt
of the American saloon in any

would support amendment to the

High Court Rules
Zoning Ordinance Is Unreasonable-,
Finding in Case
of Westminister Con
gregation. Lincoln. June 28. (Special.)
One tection of the Omaha zoning
ordinance was pronounced invalid
by the Nebraska supreme court in
an opinion handed down here.
Justice Dean wrote the majority
opinion of the court while Justice
Rose, in a dissenting opinion, held
that the particular restriction in the
section was not an unreasonable
one.
The question arose in the ca
of the Westminster l'rebyterian
church agaimt R. E. F.dgecomb.
chief engineer in charge of the ctiy's
building department. The section
which was attacked in the suit pro
vides that in Zone F, relating to
the residence section, no building
shall be constructed which covers
more than 25 per cent of the lot
or parcel of ground.
The high court, affirming the
judgment of the Douglas county
district court, ruled that the re
striction imposed by this section
was unreasonable and invalid be
cause it did not fall within the police
powers of the municipality as
necessary for the protection of the
health and welfare ot the com
munity, t'nder the ruling the church
is given permission ti construct its
new building at Thirty-tilth ftreet
and Woolworih avenue at eti
mated cost of $74,0iH.
"It clearly appears." the court
said in passing on the cae, "that the
ordinance goes beyond Ihe authority
conferred by the legislature, Tint
part of the ordinance which re
stricts the building to 25 per cent of
the tot is unrearonable and for that
reason invalid."
In its opinion, the court likeuise
calls attention to a provision of the
section permitting the city commis
sion to grant a special permit in
the event that a petition properly
signed by the property owners of
the affected district is preented. It
is impossible to delegate authority
in this manner, the court rules.
