eal of Panama Canal
Tolls Opposed ly C of C.
Pepeal of I'anama canal tolls on
coastwise vessels would work to the
embarrassment of the transcontinen
tal railroads and through them
would bring depression to the whole
country, says a resolution passed by
the executive committee of the
Chamber of Commerce in opposing
repeal of a bill putting tolls on
coastwise vessels. This bill is now
before congress.
Even at present, when they are
paying tolls, the coastwise ships are
making lower rates for many classes
of freight than the railroads can
meet, Manager Childe of the traffic

Zoning Ordinance
Meaning in Doubt
Erection of Apartment House
May Hinge on Interpret'
tion of Term "District"
Members of the city planning
board are endeavoring to make the
language of the zoning ordinance
more definite and certain in its refer
ences to the construrtioii of tene
ment buildings in residential dis
tricts. A preliminary meeting on the sub
ject was held yesterday afternoon
and further action will be held in
abeyance until an option shall have
been received from the city legal de
triment on the interpretation of
the term "district" as used in the
ordinance.
The case in point at present is a
contest between the Drake Realty
and Construction company and
property owners, over the intention
of the former to erect three apart
ments at' the southeast corner of
Thirty-eighth and Davenport streets.
"Nearly any nice residence neigh
borhood could obtain a majority p-o-test
against the erection of an apart
ment house," said George T. Mor
ton, chairman of the planning board.
John A. Rine, member, stated that
he believed there are many desirable
locations in Omaha for apartment
houses I without invading a district
where the residents are hostile.
In the case under controversy, the
Drake company owns a tract 300-175
feet, and the company contends that
this tract constitutes a "district"
within the meaning of the zoning
ordinance and that the consent oi
abutting property owners is ;iot
necessary in a case of this kind.
The city council will consider the
matter Friday morning.
