Before Judges MATTHEWS, FRITZ and BOTTER.


PER CURIAM.

This is a zoning action. In a prerogative writ suit the trial judge set aside, as arbitrary exercises of the zoning power, certain variances granted under the ostensible authority of N.J.S.A. 40:55-39(c) by the board of adjustment of the City of Passaic (board). In addition to this, he included in his opinion, which is published, sweeping dictum broadly criticizing some planning and zoning concepts heretofore thought to be established.
