Napoleon's Idea of City Improvement

Paris is a beautiful city, but it is not so
beautiful as 1t would be If Napoleon rs
IDEAS had been carried into effect
In 1908 the emperor proposed to continue
to Vincennes the magnificent route that
embraces the Arcade Triomphe at one
end and the Louvre at the other. The
palace of the French kings would thus
have been flanked by arteries of equal
grandeur
The lecture given the other day by NJ
Augustine Rey, whose official position at
the ministry of labor gives special value
to hts studies as an architect. proposed a
scheme of reconstruction that Is striking
and original. The Hotel de Vile, the
Palais Royal, the proposed new bridge Of
the institute, a spacious avenue connect
ing the Louvre with the grand boule-
wards and the construction of palace
in the center of the Champs Elysees as
the official residence Of the president OF
the republic are projects identified with
NJ. Rey's mission to embellish Paris in a
manner worthy of the best traditions Of
French art. When realized the republic
will have accomplished an architectural
achievement equal. If not superior to
anything done that way under the Ma
poleons.
