attempted TO secure the full benefit result
ing from what he considers three important
principles in city planning. The first of
these is that which requires that the main
thoroughfares shall be direct, ample and
convenient, regardless of the contour of
the land. So two eighty-foot streets are
carried straight through the property on
lines f.26o feet apart, fixed by the location
of the openings through the railroad en-
bankment, and, in accordance with the
city's tentative street plan for that neigh
boraood, a boulevard TO be 125 feet wide Is
provided along the section fronting on
Forest Park. This also comedies with the
city's tentative street plan.
At the point where the more important Of
the eighty-foot streets passes under the
four railroad tracks "a civic centre has
been established. This is called Station
Square, for at this point is to be located
the beautiful station which has been
planned by Grosvenor Atterbury, the foun-
dation's architect From this square two
seventy-foot streets radiate, paralleling
/ each other on either side of a bit of elon-
gated parking for a short distance and then
sweeping away from each other in the
curves OF a giant caIiper, finally reaching
| the park boulevard at the entrance to the
park
! The lines do not follow those Of the cali
per throughout gently changing their d.
rection in a distant part or the area to
accommodate themselves 10 grades and the
most agreeable setting. On these roads the
buildings will be set back from the side
walk. The thoroughfares of secondary i'm
{ portance are sixty feet wide and 50 laid out
as to follow lines carefully related to the
/ topography Of the country, and which will
al the same time fit in with the street lay
out Of the city's tentative plan for the
neighborhood.
A second feature of the layout, which
viii be strange TO most New Workers. but
| doubtless, very agreeable, is the arrange
nent of the residence streets in such a
way as to give a large degree of quietness-
/ This is the second principle which Mr..
/ Olmsted has applied in the Gardens. This
! is the way Mr.. OInsted describes this feat
ure:
"A second principle, which is very i'm
portant TO supplement- the first, but which
! has been too generally ignored in Ameri-
can street layouts, is that those streets
which are not needed as thoroughfares
should be planned and constructed to meet
the purposes of quiet residence streets in
/ the best possible manner. To this end the
local streets at Forest Hills Gardens are
laid out so as to discourage their use as
( thorovghfares While not Enthusiastically
/ crooked. they are never perfectly straight
for long stretches. Their roadways, We'll

be one of the characteristic features OF the
whole development
Probably one of the most notable char
acteristics of Forest Hills Gardens from the
point of view of the homeseeker, when the
plans are fully realized, will be the cosey'
domestic character of these local streets.
The monotony Of endless. straight. wind
swept thoroughfares, which form the New
York conception of streets will give place to
short, quiet, self-contained and gardenilke
neighborhoods, each having its own dis
tinctive character"
In the designing Of the Gardens land has
been deliberately set apart for the COM
mon use and enjoyment of the inhabitants
That this should be done is the principle OF
city planning to which Mr.. Oln1sted gives
third place. Owing to the proximity OF
Forest Park, il was not necessary to provide

Tor the children, who are now limited in
cities to the street. with all its dangers
Some may wonder how IL is possible
to provide so much open space for play
purposes on an area Of comparatively
high value Mr. Omsted explains how it
is done in this wise:
Where land is of such high value is
bound TO be the case within a quarter OF
an hour of Seventh avenue and 32d street,
such a liberal provision of land for COM
mon use and enjoyment is possible upon
sound commercial basis only By paying
round price for it, and in the last analysis
the price has got to be paid by the Occu-
| pants OF the lots. It is therefore a fair
question how that price is TO be paid
| lust what loss is &c be set off against the
/ gain
The question may be answered IN Two
ways On the one hand. lots having such
| advantages are thereby made more de-
! sirabIe. and are actually worth more 70
! their occupants and worth more in tie
| open market, lot for lot. than similar
/ properties without these advantages: Just
as lots on a paved and severed street
| are worth more than upon q street that
| is uninnroved, the increased market value
ge;zg 70 cover the cost OF the improve
7 nnent-
Tn the opinion OF most students or
city planning and Of many progressive
real estate o. rators OF large prac-
teal experience, land set apart for
public recreation purposes in reasonable
| amount and in an intelligent manner adds
| considerably more TO the salable value OF
the adjacent lots than it costs TO set II
apart. In other words, for slight increase
IN lot prices the wholesale dealer IN land
can proftably afford 10 give something
| which is worth TO the purchaser more tnan
the amount OF the necessary increase IN
the price Of lots On the other hand, 1t Is
nossibIe bv reduction in the size OF the
back yards. so slight as not to reduce
their practical usefulness, to save out
enough land for these neighborhood pur-
noses without increasing the price of the
lots at all.
..sone of the lots in Forest Hills Gar
dens therefore being intended for homes
of moderate size, are made shaIower tnar
the customary New York lot which
the deep. badly lighted tenement house has
5ave1oped. and will have the advantages
