PER CURIAM.

Section 3 of the zoning ordinance, titled 'Classification of Uses,' provides for class U1 uses, single-family dwellings; class U2 uses, two-family dwellings; and class U3 uses, apartment houses, community center building, hotel, church, library, hospital or sanitarium, etc.

Section 6 provides: 'In a class U3 district, no building or premises shall be used and no building shall be erected which is arranged, intended or designed to be used except for class U1, U2 or U3 use.'

Section 7, titled 'Accessory Uses in Residence Districts,' provides in part: 'An accessory use customarily incident to a class U1, U2, or U3 use shall also be permitted in respectively, a class U1, U2 or U3 district, provided such accessory use is located upon the same lot with the building or use to which it is accessory. * * * A store, trade or business shall not be permitted as an accessory use except that the office of a physician, surgeon, dentist or musician, may be located in the dwelling or apartment used by such physician * * * as his private residence * * *.'

Section 11, titled 'Use District Exceptions,' provides in part:

'(a) Permit the extension of a building or use into a more restricted district immediately adjacent thereto but not more than fifty (50) feet beyond the boundary line of the district in which such building or use is authorized.

'* * *

'(c) Permit in a use district any use deemed by the City Planning and Zoning Commission in general keeping with the uses authorized in such district.'

Plaintiff contends that the type of use contemplated by Herrick is not permitted under the ordinance, and that the allowance of such use would be without authority and a gross abuse of discretion on the part of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Defendants contend that the contemplated use is included under the term, 'hospital,' as used in section 3 of the ordinance, or is permitted under paragraph (c) of section 11, above quoted.

It is not necessary to determine whether the term, 'hospital,' as...
