METHOD IN BUILDING

city, there are, almost lnVarlably, many grave defects which have to be rectifed at great eX- pense and trouble years afterward, when the town has attained considerable size and un- wieldiness. There are few cities in which some carelessness in the establishing of building line or the planning of block so that 1t is un- slightly and unsanitary has brought world of annoyance to both the property owners and to the city authorities with the passing of time. When the nuisance thus created by some over sight of the original planners of a city or build ing becomes uncomfortable, then arises the neces- sity of tearing down and rebuilding in way that will suit the needs of the present and these needs are often very different from thoes that existed at the time of the first construction.
 With the exercise of only moderate degree of foresight, much of this remodeling that con- fronts the progress of nearly every city may be avoided. One great danger in city construc- tion from the public's point of view, is that certain areas of business or residence section may become so shut off and isolated from sight by encroaching structures that, in time, they become unsanitary holes, reeking with filth and, consequently, having a very deleterious effect on the health of the people who, although not knowing that these places exist, are still breathing the posonous air that emanates there from
 While Globe has not yet reached the stage of growth at which the worst results from such disease breeding sections may be looked for, yet it has, nevertheless, even at this early date in its development, number of yards in the rear of business blocks, and occasionally behind residences, that are a menace to health. If these yards are surrounded in the future by hrilH thayy llx- tall la hothe1s of disease. Already several backwards in the heart of the business section, are being rendered positively unsanitary by the careless ness of the owners, but more often simply by the lack of proper sewerage facilities. With the purchase of the new garbage apparatus by the city health department, one phase of the unhealthful conditions prevailing here should be done away with, but there still remains the crying need for better sanitation, and this, of course, can be assured only by the instalment of an adequate system of sewers If one doubts the need of such a system, he has only to walk through few of the alleys that skirt the rear of our business blocks to be convinced that something should be done, and that quickly. The great danger in new city is that the pro viding of proper public facilities is too often neglected until some terrible pestience or des- tructve conHagration wreaks havoc. After such an event, there is always frenzied haste to provide safeguards but it is then too late for such improvements to benefit the many who have suffered the loss of family and friends through disease or accident.
 As a general principle for application in building city, the greater part of community that fronts directly on the streets, the better is the protection afforded against any sections be- coming dangerous to health. If any part of a city is open to the inspection of the people public opinion may be depended upon to keep that section sanitary and free from filth. Con. with no access to the main streets except by alleys, should be discouraged
 The principles that apply to house building are equally adaptable to the construction of a city. Just as in dwelling every room can not be a parlor or library, so, in city, it is impossible to have all sections equally beautiful and cleanly. In the same way that a house must have its kitchen, its dining room, it's cellar and other rooms so built that each will fulfill some particular need of the family, so, a city must have it's different kinds of residence sec tions, it's marketplaces and its office blocks to satisfy the demands of the various functions of municipal growth and welfare. But while all this is true many mistakes expensive to both the finances and health of a community | may be avoided by proper foresight of the orig inal builders and residents
