CITY PLAN BOARD
APPOINTS EXPERTS

George Ford and H. p. Goodrich, both
of New York. have been selected by
the City Plan Commission as expert
advisors to the board. Secretary Fred
erick Bigelow, of the commission. to-
day gave out the following statement:
After organizing the commission began
to look for the true meaning of city plan
ming and found that such activities had
touched every phase OF municipal life in
different parts of the country. The natural
course for a new commission to pursue
was to find out what others had done.
where they had failed and where they
had succeeded. The commission corre-
sponded with municipal organizations all
over the country.
THE commission came to the conclu-
sion that very little of lasting value had
been accomplished by city planning. ex-
cept for the student and as a means to
arouse interest In great Possibilities. They
seem to dwell too much on large and ex-
pensive demonstrations, based on incom-
plete knowledge of all the factors in city
growth, with too much regard for beauty
and insufficient regard for cost and util-
ity..
cieties whose work has been studied, en-
ployed executive heads, such as Mr.. Burn
ham, Mr.. Olmstead, Mr.. Drummer and
others. To have a distinguished planning
e for Newsrt TO ws seIsct no special aabt e eape be aavi sn
easy way to shift the burden of the work,
but the commission believes 1t wiser to
be In closer touch with their own force.
They have selected gentlemen who repre-
sent all the spcial talent which is de-
manded in city planning.
city planning should convey but one
meaning, though a pretty big one: The
entire physicay arrangement of Newark,
streets, public squares, parks. play
grounds, transit lines, docks, location of
business and residential lands. etc. Upon
the outer undeveloped edge of town there
are unlimited possibilities; Newark is free
to include all desirable features at once;
within the older part no radical changes
can be made. but necessity demands an
immediate Encouragement in certain Sec
TONS.
The commission will give consideration
first to all kinds Of traffic: pedestrian,
trucking, street car, ETC., centreing about
Broad and Market streets"
