Letter To Editor
Dear Editor:
I salute the hordes of fans who have taken the time to write so cheerfully in the wake of my stand for zoning. It is heartwarming to know that I have such a large and vocal following.
I was particularly touched by all of the kind offers to help me pack, after I received that thoughtful invitation to go back where I came from.
But I came originally from Missouri, and Missourians have to be shown. I have still to be shown that zoning^ would be detrimental to the county, or that lack of zoning in the “good old way" would be good for the county. We did not keep the “good old way" on subdivisions, because we knew that an open door to every subdivider wou^d bring cheap, unsanitary subdivisions that could ruin not only the beauty but the health of the county. Increasing population brings new problems, and that is why the county quickly passed aj subdivision control ordinance' and why it is, considering a reasonable zoning control bill. To let things stand in the “good old days" of “anything goes" might mean a garbage dump on main street, a factory with noxious fumes on a fine residential street, and junkyards, trailers, rock quarries and refuse piles scattered indiscriminately throughout the county. Is this what the advocates of no-zoning want? That's what they would get,, want it or not. It has happened elsewhere. It can happen here.
