HOW To PLAN A
RESIDENCE SUBDIVISION
Ernest G. Froderstrom, of Cole & Meinersman,
Landscape Architects.

Considerable interest has been
aroused by the recent agitation re-
garding housing conditions in and al
Jcent to our cities. Two of the most
important questions have to do with
the treatment OF streets. Shall they
be straight and at right angles?' or
shall they be curved?" and what
shall the width be-
In this age of artistic advancement
there is but one answer to the first
question. wherever it is possible to de-
velope drives on curved lines. All
must agree that although a straight
drive may be made attractive AMI
even pleasing, yet the greatest beauty
is to be found in the curved or wind
ing avenues.
There are numerous reasons why
this should be so, but two important
ones will suffice. First. the curved
avenue affords constantly changing
scenes to the eye and is therefore rest
full and satisfying. second, the curved
avenue provides street pictures
which are so sought after by city
planning experts, and which in som
OF the older European cities are thu
chief claims to civic beauty and which

command the admiration of all who
have seen them.
We next come to the question Of
width Of streets. These should by all
means be wide, but the road bed on
the contrary. should be narrow. in
fact 20 to "a feet between curbs is
ample for an avenue used for resi-
dence purposes, except in the case IT
connecting boulevards.
There are strong economic reasons
why this should be so because of the
reduced cost of paving and reduced
cost of maintenance Then again. a
road is a necessity but never essen
TALLY a thing of beauty, and should
therefore be made as inconspicuous as
possible In this we are helped out
by a very wide park space which the
narrow road bed makes possible. As
in the case of an S0-foot street a go
foot road bed allows a six foot side
walk and a twenty-four foot parkway
or planting space on each side. Even
a sixty-six foot street STANDARD in

foot parkway.

SINGING THE PRODUCER is
WORK OF COMMISSION MEN

A telegram was received by potato
buyer in this city within the last few
days to the effect that a car of pota-
toes could not be handled by COM
mission man to whom the potatoes ha1
been consigned for the reason that the
sacks were not uniform in size. The
car stands on track in distant
citys4 and the ashipper is paying demur-
rage and will probably have to sacri-
flee an additional amount of money
before tha potatoes are Sold The idea
that potatoes are not salable because
the sacks are not uniform size is
nothing short of hold-up, a robbing
proposition to get product cheaper
than the market price because a COM
mission man has cinch on the price.
There is no doubt that potatoes are
bringing higher price throughout the
country than in this locality and
there is also little doubt that
there Is combination among eastern
dealers to employ any means to figure

TO ASK FOR AN INCREASE
IN THE PRICE OF WATER
Blaine County Irrigation Project A.
fairs viii Be Taken UP by the
Land Board Monday.

The Blaine county irrigation pro.
ject affairs will be taken up by tho
state land board Monday, decision to
that effect having been reached by
the land board at its meeting yester.
day, when John S. Parks of Howe,
Blaine county, appeared before the
board and asked for a hearing.
The hackers Of the project propose
to build a new reservoir, to be known
as the Stevens, to take the place OF
the old reservoir, which leaks badly
and will not hold water in sufficient
amount to irrigate all the lands under
the project. The company wishes tc
secure an increase of SIS per acre fol-
the water, and will ask the board to
grant this The issue was before Il
board some time ago when the com
pany officers were given permission
to go among the settlers, and, If pos
sible, secure their Endorsement of the
plan to increase the water right price
in order to raise funds to build the
reservoir. There are between 70 and
80 settlers on the project, and all OF
them have signed for the raise in
price with the exception of but few.
This condition Of affairs will be report
ed to the board, and it is very prob.
able that the increase will be granted,
with the understanding that those
settlers on the project. who refused
to sign for it, cannot be forced to.
The old reservoir is said to have
been virtually put out of commission
through the efforts made to clean it,
with the result some of the dirt was
removed, exposing a gravel bed.
