Value Of City Planning.

A lecture on THE Engineer In His
Relations to the City Plan" was given
by Nelson p. Lewis, chief engineer of
the board OF estimate and apportion.
ment, New York. before the Engineers
club at Philadelphia. Mr.. Lewis illus
trated his lecture with lantern slides,
showing the effect upon city growth
of proper planning, and emphasized
the necessity Of making plans while
the city is In Its infancy, so as to
avoid tearing down big buildings and
making other serious changes.
CITY planning pays" he ssid. be
cause OF the increase of population
and valuation OF properties which re-
suits. The old cities of the east are
all EampersG by the bad planning OF
those who laid them out century or
more aGo. hut Gespite this handicap,
many Improvements can be made
which will make them n yh examples
OF modern civic planning.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1912-07-04

Pemiscot county are not fools
and the intent and purpose OF
such a plea will be understood by
them at once. What the people
want are solid men for their of
ticers, who are competent to per.
form the official duties of the Of
flee to which they may be elected,
and they are not bothering their
minds about what the candidates
think on the subject of audit.
ing the books. What in the name
OF common sense would the con-
stable, coroner, public admins
TRAITOR or assessor have to do
with auditing the books? They
could not audit the books. no mat
ter how much they might like to
do so.

ABOUT THE DEPOT.

Seventeen month ago the Fris
co depot in this city was burned
Since that time great deal of
talk and speculation has been in.
dulged in, as to what would be
done in the way of new depot,
the kind of building it should be,
It's location, etc, until the matter
is becoming old and thrcadbare.
Besides, those sent here by the
Frisco, and those who have been
delegated to write letters to our
people, have indulged in much
nice talk and promises, and have
contradicted themselves so often
and to such great extent, that
hereafter, for our part, we will
have to be shown before we will
believe.
We have been lenient with the
Frisco, and have at all times
tried to do the very best we could
for them. Few papeGs lpdeed
would be as lenient as we have
been, but we desired to. give
them "a chance to carry out their
promises. Wecould az gote many
OF their promises, but we pre-,
sumo that the people'are suffi.
ciently we'll informed.
At one tme, the prosecuting
attorney of the county was in the
act of bring proceedings against
the company to compel them to
comply with the law by arrang-
ing the proper depot facilities at
this city, but the people of Hayti
said mo, We'll wait little while
longer, be easy-just little
more sleep and little more
slumber," and of course he de.
ferred the matter.
