This action was taken by the Ken-: ~ilworth Zoning commission fallowing a:public hearing Wednesday 'night. of last wÀeek a t the Kenilworth Assemblv- hall attended'by about two hundred residents of the village. A.* J. McLain, a Chicago coiitractor, has asked that the Kenilworth Zoning ordinance be modified to, permit the English terrace group, residence de- velopinent, which consists of a numi- ber of individual dwellings with ii- dividual basemnents, first floors, sel-, ond floors and attics, ýgrouped. to- gether .in one large building separated. by fire wall. The triangular piece of land bounded by Roger avenue, Exmoor' road and an alley running in a north- westerly direction, where Mr. Mc- Lain proposed to erect such a build- ing, is in an area zoned residential. A majority of the property owners who attended the public 'hearing were strongly opposed to any change ini the Kenilworth Zoning ordinance- which would permit such a develop- ment. Their principal objection was that to modify the zoning ordinance i this ianner would mean"a step to- ward apartment buildings in Kenil- worth. Menibers of the Kenilworth Zon- ing commission, who have recoin-. mended that no change be made in the village's zoning laWs, are:- Charles 1). Howe, chairmnan, James C. Mur_- rav, Harry P.
