The new operation involves di rect lines from the city hall to the four stations.

The meeting with the lair board is preliminary to pre senting the proposal to the state legislature which has the final de cision in the matter. Meet Property Owners The second conference Thursday will be with property owners who would be affected by the 25th street project which recently was approved by the state board of control. Decision to delay action in the zone change requested by Schrunk came alter the zone change com mittee had recommended the tract be left in a single family zone. T. W. Lowry. committee chair man, said that allowing duplexes on the tract would be spot zoning and would devaluate adjacent DroDcrtv. The tract involved is located on the north side of D street near lcel court and Park avenue. The property is 131 feet wide and 660 feet lone and is not on a cross street, making development dilli cult. Objections Were Heard At a public hearing two weeks ago, objections to the plan which called for nine duplex dwellings on the tract were heard from a group of neighbors who declared they were opposed to changing the single family character ot the area. The commission also turned down a variance requested by Vard Hughes to construct a house on a 50 by 60 foot lot on the cor ner of 20th and Chemekcta streets. Hughes at present has a house on an adjacent 50 by 50 foot lot and the commission ruled that in ef fect his proposal was to build two houses on one lot.
