that woodpulp, paper and boards, the
product of the United States, are admit

Canada there should be inserted the

Proposed Federal Bureau.

I'VE should establish bureau of con-
struction and arts and place represent
atives of the various artistic associa-
lions high in it's councils. We should
later on enlarge this bureau into a de-
partment or ministry Of arts. and I'M
der it's Jurisdiction, in addition to the
actual construction pertaining to the
nation, there should be developed edu-
cational work on lines of construction
and art which will bring into co-opera-
ton and coordination the energies Of
the various states and municipalities
in similar directions.
THE American people have been so in
terested in material things that they have
for many years neglected the standards
fixed by Washington and Jefferson as to
the attractive and artistic side of public
construction and development. The great
Chicago exposition led the way to a
renaissance. and within the past twenty
years the artistic organizations have made
an enormous advance in the application
of their principles to practical life. The
organization of the national conference
on city planning will take its place among
other constructive and artistic organiza-
tons, and the influence of these organi-
cations will be beneficial hereafter in adj
vancing the comfort and attractiveness OF
city and town life

for City Expansion.
COOPERATION OF ENERGY
Urges Educational Work Along Ma
tional and State Lines of
Construction.

At the city-planning banquet in Phila-
delphia last night, over which Secretary
Fisher presided and at which the Ger
man ambassador was one OF the speakers,
Senator Newlands, with other things,
said:
"A city should be planned just as a
great building, or an irrigation project, or
a river and harbor project. or a railroad
is planned. Broad and comprehensive
plans should be provided. meeting not
only present requirements, but the future
requirements of expansion. I do not mean
by this that all the details of a great city
should be established In every case. but
simply that in the initial conditions the
plan should be so framed as to permit
and not prevent future expansion.
If it is on a river or bay the water
front should be planned as to meet
the requirements Of beauty as well as
utility. There should be civic center
and a system of radial streets leading
from the civic center; a park system.
reservations for public squares and
schools and proper water and sewerage
system. The surroundings of the rail-
way station should also be made at
tractive. so that the traveller passing
through will get pleasant impression
of the place. This city planning does
rot involve extravaganza: 1t prevents
ii. 1t does not mean that everything
is to be Immediately secured that will
meet the requirements of a larger city;
1t means that the larger city can be de-
veloped without tearing down and re-
constructing the old.
