Lt. H.

Npfs, of the Illinois state highway police in Elgin, made the report. Lt. Nofs, who has been on the force 27 years, was given much credit for the program's start. Figures Are Given According to Lt. Nofs, 1,090,271 trucks were weighed from Jan.

31, 1949, to July 31, 1950. Arrests total 43,130. During the first week of the program, 3,000 arrests were made out of 13,000 trucks stopped. Last July there were 277 arrests out of 11,715 trucks weighed. Now, trucks carrying overloads must get rid of excess cargo before leaving the weighing station, either by discharging the extra poundage or waiting for the aid of another company carrier, Lt.

Nofs said. He pointed, out state police do not assess fines for overloading. They take the offender to the nearest court, which generally is a justice of the peace. He also explained that some companies continue to overload trucks because, by detouring around a weighing station and traveling on little used roads, they can put thru four or five over- Paisley, Anne Smith, Linda Parsons, Mary McCall, and Louise MISS ANNE BOVINE The engagement of Miss Anne Bovine to Dr. Kirkland C.

FURRIERS JHL I J. SILVERMAN AND SONS 'Plus Fed. Tax BY HIGH COURT Case in La Grange Park is Decided BY JACK COOPER Constitutionality of La Grange Park zoning ordinances was upheld by the Illinois Supreme court last week in a 4 to 3 decision expected by lawyers to be a guide-post in cases attacking village zoning laws thruout the state.

The decision upheld a decree issued last January by Circuit judge Elmer J. Schnackenberg, when he overruled the findings of a master in chancery and ruled the village's zoning laws valid. On appeal, the case went directly to the Supreme court when Judge Schnackenberg certified a definitive ruling was necessary in the public interest. night of Protection The Supreme court ruled, in effect, that persons who have bought property in and become residents of suburban towns because of the towns' single family residence features have a right to be protected from later changes in zoning laws unless such changes are required for the public good. La Grange Park zoning ordinances were put to the court test by Adolph H.

Wesemann, who, in 1943 and 1944, converted to a duplex residence the two story frame house at 445 N. Ashland av. in the village. When the village threatened to proceed against him, Wesemann sought to enjoin such action in the Circuit court. Wesemann's complaint charged that depriving him of the use of his premises as a tvo family d'velling amounted to confiscation and bore no relation to public welfare.

His complaint also said that the zoning laws unlawfully interfered with his legal rights and personal liberty, and were therefore unconstitutional. Municipal Rule Upheld The Supreme court's majority opinion, written by Chief Justice Simpson, ruled "the judgment of municipal authorities with reference to zoning Is conclusive, unless it is shown to be arbitrary and capricious." The opinion added, it is neither the province or duty of courts to interfere with the discretion with which such bodies are invested, except where there is a clear showing of an abuse of that discretion, which is not the case where the question is merely debatable." This concurred with Judge Schnackenberg's statement at the time of his decree last January. He said: "The view most favorable to the plaintiff is that there is room for a legitimate difference of opinion concerning the reasonableness of the zoning ordinance as applied to his property. It has been repeatedly held hat where there Is such room for legitimate difference of opinion, the finding of the legislative body will not be disturbed." The Supreme court noted that the house in question was built in 1898, and was never zoned for any thing but single family rest dence. The zoning ordinance had been in effect for 15 years before the attempted conversion.

Goes Beyond Permit The court also noted Wesemann twice petitioned the village board for rezoning and went ahead with the conversion even tho permission was denied. Wesemann was given permission to improve the property and went further with remodeling than authorized by his permit, the court said. Wesemann's complaint cited a housing shortage at the time of the conversion. The ruling said, however, there was no shortage of space in the village for two family residences. Large areas zoned for that purpose lay idle.

It would not be feasible for a municipality to alter its zoning regulations with every change of economic conditions." Public welfare was affected by the case, the court held, because where two family residences are permitted, "more people are usually brought to a given property with the attendant congestion and inconvenience, all of which has a direct bearing upon and substantial relation to the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare of a community." Another Point Cited To grant that the zoning ordinances were void as to Wesemann's property alone, as he charged, the court said, "would amount to the picking out of an isolated tract in the midst of a single family territory and permitting a use of it which would be denied to others iB the same locality." The three dissenting justices, Thompson, Gunn, and Daily, differed with the majority opinion only with respect to Wesemann's claim that the ordinances were void as applied to his property. Walter J. Madigan, La Grange Park village president, said the Supreme court decision would result in easier enforcement of village zoning ordinances.
