State Ex Rel. Better Built Homes & Mortgage Co. v. McKelvey
Opinion of the Court
This case, as in City of St. Louis v. Evraiff et al. and State ex rel. Penrose Investment Co. v. McKelvey, Building Commissioner, involves the question as to the validity of Ordinance No. 30199 of the city of St. Louis, designated as the Zoning Ordinance. In those cases we held the ordinance to he invalid as not constituting an authorized exercise of the police power. The issue here being the same as in those cases a like conclusion must follow.
Our peremptory writ should therefore issue and it is so ordered.
Concurring Opinion
(concurring). — In this case I concur in the result, of the opinion, but base this limited concurrence upon the grounds stated in my separate concurring opinion in State ex rel. Penrose Investment Company v. McKelvey, 301 Mo. 1.
