THE MOHXIXG OnEGOXIAX, FRIDAY, nECEMDEU 1!, I!)19. minis ERS ATTACK ZO G POSH l; 2 O Churches Would Be Driven Out, Council Is Told. EARLY REMEDY PROMISED Cliange in Measure to Allow Un hindered Religious 'Work to Be Made; Confusion Explained. Opposition to the proposed zoning ordinance, in its present form, devel oped at a hearing before the city council yesterday when it- became Known that new churches and schools cannot be built in any district of the city other than the districts of classes IV, V or VII without an amendment. Request was made that this provi sion of the measure be amended. Members of the city council as sured the delegation that no discrim ination would be practiced against the church and that before the ordi nance is finally approved provision will be made giving the church every opportunity of expanding without re strictions. The proposed ordinance in its present form does not affect ex isting churches. Rev. F. W. Black, pastor of the St. Francis church, spoke against the provision in the ordinance affecting new churches, saying that it was an effort to legislate the house of God cut of the city of Portland. Denunciation In Hitter. Father Black was bitter in his de nunciation of the authors of the pro posed ordinance and predicted bitter opposition to the ordinance if the provision were not amended. "I'o legislation should be passed which hinders man from worshipping God," said Father Black, "i care not what a man's faith is, he has the right to worship Diety without inter ference." Mayor Baker assifred Father Black and other members of the delegation that the ordinance was merely pre sented for discussion, and that the city council would Co nothing to drive the church from the city, but rather would do everything possible to pro tect the church. "This council will respect God and the church at every step," said Mayor Baker. "Many times we have been petitioned by representatives of churches to effect zoning of some sort to protect the church from intrusion of some objectionable neighbors. Therefore I believe that the zoning ordinance on the whole will protect the church, Just as it will protect residential districts from improper intrusions and also serve to give in dustries the protection to which they are entitled." Zoning OrlR'InatorM Kxplaln. Representatives of the planning commission who drafted and sub mitted the proposed ordinance to the city council said that it was evident that there was a misunderstanding both as to the intent and the effect o the proposed ordinance, in regard to churches. All existing churches, schools, public and semi-public prop erties are established in class IV "districts. Alterations and additions to any of these properties can be made to any extent. New schools and churches are recommended to go into any class IV. V, VIT district, and may have addi tional districts provided for them anywhere by amendment to the ordinance. This can be done, it is explained, on motion of the city council or planning commission, or petition of property owners, after a Rearing. At present the ordinance as pro posed provides that new single family dwellings only can go into class 1 districts, which comprise a large part of the outlying section of the city. as recommended by the neighborhood property owner committees. G'onfUHlon la DiNCUNned. Some confusion is undoubtedly due, say representatives of the planning commission, to the fact that districts of class IV are not shown on the maps, although every such property as now exists is definitely established by a note on each map. Representatives of the planning commission were unanimous in ex pressing regret over the misunder standing and announced they were ready to correct any injustice that might be pointed out. It was ex plained at the meeting yesterday, that in launching such a gigantic pro gramme as the zoning of the city, eome inaccuracies are certain to de velop and It is for this reason that public hearings are now being held. City Engineer Laurgaard, ex-officio member of the planning commission, said yeBterday that he had voted against the zoning ordinance at a meeting of the planning commission eolely because preferential provision had not been included for churches, schools and fire stations.
