tion. Zoning ordinances date from about the time of the First World War。 they are now almost universal in cities and villages. Zoning ordinances ( 區(qū)域劃定法令 ) divide towns into zones designated for different uses. If my neighborhood is “zoned” residential, I cannot build a factory or run a restaurant on my property. If the zone is restricted to singlefamily dwellings, I cannot even run a rooming house or rent out apartments. 11 Proverbs ? Lawyers are like morticians[殯儀業(yè)者 ].
