court. The stipulation for reservation sets forth the
following facts: At a special town meeting of the
town of Avon in March, 1939, it was voted that a
zoning commission be established pursuant to the
general law. Such a commission was appointed by
the meeting, and a set of zoning regulations prepared
in advance was adopted. Sections of the
regulations provided: "These regulations shall not
be amended, changed or repealed until after a
public hearing held by the Zoning Commission and
approval by a majority vote at a town meeting."
Later, the zoning commission adopted the identical
set of regulations that had been voted by the town
meeting. In September, 1947, after the General
Assembly at its 1947 session had revised the
general law relating to zoning, a special town
meeting of the town of Avon voted that the town
adopt the provisions of No. 418 of the 1947 Public
Acts, entitled "An Act Amending the Zoning
Enabling Act." General Statutes, Sup. 1947, c. 29.
On February 9, 1948, the zoning commission
