The highest courts in twenty-two states have now upheld zoning ordinances. Permission of municipalities to zone is embodied in the laws of forty-six states, according to a recent list prepared by the division, and twenty-eight state laws now include all or a large part of the Standard State Zoning Enabling Act, which the department issued in 1924 .
Lists of zoned municipalities arranged according to population have been brought up to date and are available for distribution. Requests should be addressed to the division of building and housing, Department of Commerce.
In this connection it is interesting to note that the City of Cincinnati has given the city planning commission jurisdiction over the acceptance and layout of all new streets, subject only to a different decision by a two-thirds vote of the city council, as proposed in the Standard City Planning Enabling Act.
