Violent public reaction against the Orem City Zon-. ing ordinance as it related to the use of land fronting on Highway tl. S. 91 for business purposes was manifested at a public hearing on the ordinance held earlier; in the . -week. -' 5" '' This opposition was manifested from most of the -citizens owning property on the highway, even from those whose property was in the so called favored sections sec-tions permitted for commercial purposes; The meeting , which was largely attended was marked by spirited argument but all in a friendly vein and at its conclu- ". sion a resolution was almost unanimously adopted -but not quite, urging the city council to open all the land, abutting on the state highway (U. S. 91) for business purposes. "The right thing at the wrong time," was theway one person characterized the Orem City zoning ordin-' , ance and particularly that part of it that, restricted k business anywhere on Orem's principal highway, U. S. s? 91, and that remark about characterizes the situation. , Many of those who opposed the ordinance believe sincerely in zoning, but they felt that the zoning ordinance ordin-ance lacked public support and without it, it could not ; . succeed. It was also apparent that with a highway five miles long through a country town, that any attempt to re-"' strict the use along the highway for business purposes i would be bitterly resented. This resentment would come as a result of feeling that the city authorities, were against certain sections in the interests of others. In other words they were playing favorites. The idea of having an orderly; .business development develop-ment under restrictions is undoubtedly vcorrect : as an ideal, but until there has been a test, by experience under un-der conditions brought about by the nearby location of the steel industry, as to" where business sections .will finally stabilize, citizens generally resent any group of men making that determination in advance. Each land owner may think he has a prospective business center and wants to at least have an opportunity to demonstrate demon-strate that he is right. s Sam Cordner, in the open melee of discussion at the mass meeting, stated the crux of the matter very clearly clear-ly when he said in substance, that the highway should be left open for development wherever .any : one wants to develop it, and the law of supply and demand and natural conditions will, finally strike a balance, and in the end business will go where it should go. Others joined in this summation. Be it said to the credit of the Orem Zoning Commission Com-mission that there never has been any attempt to railroad rail-road any ordinance over. The very meeting at which there was so, much opposition was called by the commission commis-sion for the purpose of having a public discussion as to whft should behest. fo.r thecity.'Jt should also be said. "thai ithe commission had ita"plans ' very well .prepared and ably presented. " t Although the citizens rejected the plans for busi-' ness development, there was a strong feeling that the commission had done its best but that the people were not ready for any such program and the only way they, will ever get ready for it will be to have an education by -experience. ' Undoubtedly there will be some disappointments. " Probably there may be some ghost business houses strung along Orem's five mile principal highway, but costly as these experiences may be, it Is still worth while to let the citizens have their way and finally by a process pro-cess of evolution work out their problems'. ; The ?nass meeting finally wound up on a note of harmony and as a revival of the town meeting way: of doing business, it was a big success, quilts, aprons, children's cloth ing and miscellaneous articles that will be for sale. A cake sale will also be a feature oi the evening and dancing wul complete the program. Junius Clawson arrived Fri day from Fort Belvolr, Virginia where he h,-J; been attending an Engineering School.
